  • Any of the funding of education or healthcare programs for low income children?
  • Eliminate funding to any of the faith-based social programs created in recent years?
  • Medicare Part D Rx coverage for any who can't afford to pay the premium?
For sure this list could go on and on. But before I keep mine and you keep yours, maybe the results require just a little forethought.
I just started reading Ron Paul's book "The Revolution - a Manifesto" Early on he advocates the elimination of all foreign aid. I am enjoying the book tremendously. I can't wait to see how many more things on this list he addresses.
