services, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families and child welfare
Government
spending in Georgia that includes both State and Federal funds totals $48.6
billion in the 2020 Budget.
$16.4
billion goes to public education, $13 billion goes to healthcare, $4.5 billion
goes to welfare. $3.6 billion goes to transportation, $1.2 billion goes to
bureaucrats and $1.2 billion goes to bankers.
Education
and Healthcare are overfunded and underperforming and these need to be
transferred to the private sector to restore free market, supply and demand
with consumer control over prices.
Welfare is being replaced by restoring the US economy with manufacturing
and energy extraction jobs. Government
responsibility for individuals needs to be restored to families and
communities. Public transportation needs
to be privatized
Roads and
highways need to be taken over by local city, county and State governments.
Federal grants for States need to continue to be reduced.
