Cut Government Down to Size

Privatize Everything
Our economy will never recover until government reduces its boot print. Everything government does that can be privatized should be privatized. Government does a lousy job managing because they expanded into activities that should have been done by the private economy. The looming examples are Education, Healthcare, Insurance, The Federal Reserve, HUD, Lending, Foreign Aid, Transportation, Labor and EPA. Costs are too high and outcomes are not good. The Federal Government is bankrupt and it’s time for them to freeze hiring, sell the land they own and withdraw from funding the unconstitutional activities they have accumulated and screwed up over the past 100 years. It’s time for the Federal Government to comply with the limits imposed by the 10th Amendment and restrict their activities to those cited in the Constitution.

Federal
Cutting the $90 billion a year spent by the Department of Education and closing it is a good start. Responsibility for Education would fall to the States. Public education has been turned into left wing political indoctrination camps and has failed to teach the basics. It’s time for internet-based home schooling and flexible private schools to take over.

Closing all federal departments and agencies not authorized by the original wording of the Constitution is a good second step. This must be done on January 2, 2013 to balance the federal budget. The only way to cut costs is to cut functions.
The Federal Government needs to get out of the loan business. This could take some time, but Fannie, Freddie and Sallie need to begin to sell its loans to private lending companies. Mortgage-backed securities should be outlawed. Lenders should be ready to own these mortgages until they are paid.

States
States will inherit responsibility for State and Interstate highways, roads and bridges, Labor, EPA and Medicaid without federal grants or subsidies. The States would also need to freeze hiring sell the land they own; Georgia owns 210,000 acres of “wildlife” preserves and state parks. Commissions and Boards should be closed.

Counties and Cities
Counties will continue to handle county roads, bridges, sewers and water without federal and state subsidies and grants. Cities will continue to handle city roads, bridges and sewer maintenance and replacement. Cities will need to remove environmental, green initiatives, privatize recreation and end overreach in planning and economic development. Cities can drop garbage collection. It can be done by a private firm dealing directly with customers. Cities should drop public transit and leave it to private companies dealing directly with their customers. police, 911, dispatch, EMT and fire departments should be merged and officers cross trained.

End the U.N.
The entire “green” scam has been supported through the U.N. Their objective is Global Government. The globalists and their socialist minions in our government have been willing participants in squandering billions of dollars on this assault on our sovereignty. They want to destroy our economy. We are funding our own demise and it must stop. International relations should be conducted by the private businesses who trade with and have operations in foreign countries. Foreign aid should be done by legitimate non-government-connected charities. The U.N. hired Hamas as “peacekeepers” on Israeli borders. Most of our foreign aid goes straight into the bank accounts of the world’s brutal dictators, whose countries occupy most of the seats in the U.N.

End the IMF
The International Monetary Fund receives most of its money from U.S. taxpayers, who get nothing in return. If other countries want to continue to support the IMF, fine. The U.S. should withdraw.

End the Fed
The Federal Reserve exists to allow our federal government to spend whatever it wants. The Fed simply prints the money. This newly printed money dilutes the value of our dollars. The Fed also controls interest rates. Interest rates should be controlled by the market. Congress is responsible for maintaining a stable dollar. They must close the Fed and begin to do their job, pass a balanced budget amendment, and leave banks, financial institutions and insurance companies to sink or swim on their own with no loans, subsidies or government backing.

End Globalist Organizations
There are many organizations supporting a one world government. We should not participate or support them or allow them to interfere with us. Their plan has been tried before and it resulted in tyranny, poverty and slavery. Our country is founded on liberty and free enterprise.

End Corporate Influence
End all subsidies to all industries, including wind, solar, GE, etc. End all subsidies to entities that should be in the private sector like NPR, PBS, the arts, etc. Let them go to the “foundations” for support, or make it on their own. End all tax breaks including ethanol, wind, solar, etc. End all reasons for lobbyists to visit Washington D.C. Remove bribery and extortion from government. End estate taxes. Protect private property from government seizure. Repeal regulations that discourage competition. End regulations and tax breaks that give big corporation monopoly advantages in the marketplace. Ensure that private citizens are free to grow their own food and provide their own water without interference.

Fix the Judicial System
All judges should be elected every two years. Their websites should include all of their decisions and opinions. It should include their entire resume, world-view, associations and influences. Too many judges hide out and wreak havoc on our Constitution. Pass Tort Reform. Pass “looser pays” and malpractice caps. Repeal laws protecting us from ourselves. Allow Judges to stop frivolous law suits when they are filed. Stop releasing prisoners because of overcrowding. Have prisoners work 10 hour days to support themselves. Have them grow their own food. Have them replace migrant workers to harvest foods that cannot be harvested with machinery. Take away their televisions, internet and phones.

Repeal Bad Laws
End abortion. Close Planned Parenthood. Off-shore abortions to Mexico and Canada. End separation of church and state laws. Repeal laws that limit our freedom. Repeal laws that limit free enterprise. Repeal laws that do not support our property rights. Repeal the estate tax. Declare victory over discrimination and repeal affirmative action and all discrimination laws. We are a meritocracy and that works for everybody and doesn’t cause law suits. Whoever tells you that minorities are not capable really is a racist. Close the EEOC and OFCCP. Close the Department of Labor, the NLRB and OSHA. Close the EPA and sell all federal lands. Close the Parks Service. Close the Corp of Engineers. Remove unnecessary environmental restrictions, Repeal the endangered species act. Don’t allow foreign governments or companies to purchase land in the U.S. Tax tobacco and alcohol the same as food.

Restrict Immigration
Move military bases to the border and close it. Deport illegal immigrants. Suspend legal immigration. End the visa lottery. Restrict foreign student entry. Deport militant Muslims. Restrict visitor visas from Muslim countries. Close the TSA.

End Government Involvement in Healthcare
Repeal all government healthcare involvement. Allow healthcare providers to figure out how to cost reduce and restart a patient pays system of healthcare. Be prepared to see expensive, ineffective treatments disappear.
