Cutting Government Costs

Excessive Immigration needs to end.  Welfare for immigrants should stop.

Socialism and excessive immigration have eroded our private economy. The US is short 50 million jobs. The Open Borders scam costs hundreds of $billions a year in welfare costs.  The tax increases to pay these costs continues to climb and damage our economy. 

Obama has doubled the cost of government and this needs to be reversed to cut the cost of government in half.  We need to balance the federal budget and begin to pay down the $19 trillion National Debt. 

Federal subsidies for healthcare have pushed costs to unsustainable levels and these costs need to be cut in half.  Obamacare needs to be repealed and not replaced by any government plan. Individuals who want health insurance should be able to buy Major Medical plans that are stop-loss plans, so they don’t lose their homes to hospital bills.  Patients need to seek effective, lower cost treatment and avoid unnecessary procedures, avoid hospitals and seek out surgical centers. Medical malpractice needs reform to eliminate these unnecessary procedures. All federal regulations dealing with healthcare should be repealed.

Federal and State subsidies for public education have also pushed costs beyond reason and the quality and usefulness of this education is questionable.  Education is not one of the federal government’s enumerated powers and they need to remove themselves from controlling or funding any and all education. All federal regulations dealing with education should be repealed.

The States can take over the public colleges and remove useless degree programs, revisionist history, junk science, political propaganda, social engineering and political correctness. Construction costs should be cut in half.

Counties need to control and fund K-12 public schools.  Students need to be made formally responsible for their own education.  Parents, teachers, Principals and tutors should control the curriculum and the funding. School Boards should assist the Principals.  All materials should be original and free from political propaganda and social engineering. State laws dealing with K-12 public schools should be repealed.
