No unemployment benefits for anyone. No food stamp program. No hot lunch program. No rental subsidies for anyone.
No medical care for veterans or rehab care for veterans as well as no veteran pensions.
Income taxes will continue since they are constitutional - and hopefully at higher rates.
Sound pretty good? Gets rid of a lot of spending.

Ridiculous responses are ridiculous.
How about this. Freeze social security and medicare for everyone currently on it. The government causes inflation intentionally using monetary policy. Stop it.
If you are not currently on SS and Medicare, you get your investment back with interest.
If you cannot pay your own medical insurance or costs, you go on medicaid.
Medicaid and welfare payments are welfare. You get a basic subsistence allowance, nothing more.. no checks.
Veterans get what they were promised. That was a contract for services.
Income taxes will drop significantly because the cost of government will decline drastically... unless of course liberals do what they always do, and raise taxes so they can buy more votes.
OR.. we can do what we are doing, borrow more, lose the value of our savings, and the debt bomb destroys us as soon as they quit loaning us money.
