Easy Budget Cuts

Easy Budget Cuts

The Federal government is wasting hundreds of billions of dollars on things that are unnecessary, unconstitutional and harmful.  Democrats will fight to protect the harmful programs first, but logic, and truth should prevail.

Global warming is a hoax.  It isn’t happening.  We could save several hundred billion dollars if we defunded all UN Agenda 21 implementation.  This would mean an end to grants to States for light rail, heavy passenger rail, bike lanes, sidewalks, landscaping street lighting, park land purchases, wilding program expansion and illegal, unconstitutional land grabs and water theft by government agencies.  Carbon is not a pollutant.  This hoax should be the last straw to get us out of the UN.  They are the enemy.  Grants should also be shut off from the “junk science” crowd that perpetuates the global warming myth.  Smart growth, sustainable development, appointed regional governance and all other Agenda 21 programs should be closed down. 

All federal land seized for wildlife “corridors” should be returned to the counties and individuals it was taken from.  All agencies created and funded by Agenda 21 implementation grants should close including State appointed Regional agencies. All transportation should be privatized with no taxpayer subsidies.  

The war on coal must stop.  We need an end to EPA regulations that result in driving energy costs beyond our ability to pay our bills. 

The federal government needs to withdraw from energy, education and healthcare before the high cost and poor quality bankrupt us.

Easy Wealth Creation

The US needs to drill all the oil and natural gas that can be “fracked”.  The economic activity unleashed by allowing this drilling for US consumption and export is the only industry left in the US with the potential to heal the private economy.  More cold liquid natural gas exporting facilities should be built in strategically located harbors to allow export via cold LNG tankers.  Pipelines should be allowed to be build by private enterprise.

We need to extract our own minerals and harvest our own trees and stop giving away licenses to foreign countries.  All federal land should be opened to harvesting to prevent ruining our timberlands. Governments should sell off their wildlife preserves; they should be privatized. 

Lowering energy costs and taxes should continue to bring manufacturing back to the US.

Follow up Plan

After 2016, the federal government should eliminate most federal activities and transfer these responsibilities to the States.  The State governments should then delegate many functions to the Counties and Cities.  Cities and counties should delegate many functions to the People and concentrate on the basics utility functions.  Private enterprise and non-profits will pick up the slack and provide what government shouldn’t provide.
