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.

Someone once told me some 40+ years ago that the measure of a society is how they treat the least fortunate among them. Some would like our society to measure up very small.
