I love it - just ignore anything you don't like hearing, and just dismiss it out of hand. You guys are hilarious
What a miserable next 7 years you are going to have.
But a good plan would be to make sure we elect Libertarians or TeaBaggers at the next election cycle, and start working on getting rid of the following Federal Government intrusions on our lives, and in our pocketbooks.
Let's keep the military (defense and veterans affairs) and interstate highways.
Medicare: This has to go immediately. We can attrition Medicare out over the next 20 years. Everyone can stop paying into it immediately (immediate tax cut). We'll just use what's left already in the system to take care of current recipients until they die. Then when the people on this board hit 65, there will be nothing there for you except what you have saved yourself.
We also can probably get rid of:
Our national park system and Department of the Interior - sell off the land (thousands of acres owned by BLM, too), reduce the deficit.
NASA - kinda just a fun thing to do, no real return to us, very expensive.
CDC - hospitals, doctors can take care of this, no need for coordinating agencies. No federal funding for health care, stem cell research, etc.
Civil rights - states can work this out at the state level.
Probably also get rid of:
Departments of Justice, Agriculture, Education, Transportion, Nuclear Regulation, State, Labor, Energy, Army Corp of Engineers, Consumer Product Safety, Federal Communications Commission, Equal Opportunity Employment, Housing and Urban Development, Treasury (this might be a really good idea).
That will save us tons of money, and eliminate most federal interference in our lives. We will be back to "on our own", as the original Patriots envisioned this country!
