    I agree but where.  I’d like to see Defense spending cut significantly but I’m pretty sure I’m in the minority here.  Others may want social services cut, I wouldn’t support that. It’s the system we are currently in. Everyone wants things cut but no one wants what they deem necessary cut.

    I don't think there's an agency or program or whatever that couldn't be streamlined. Not a single one.

      As a person who has worked in various sections of government I tend to agree but my experience has lead me to the conclusion that it costs less to let the abuse happen than it does to try and stop it. Sad but true.  Without getting to philosophical, the problem is simple. People are the worst and we continue to become worse.  With each passing moment we reduce personal responsibility in the name of protecting individual rights , on both sides.

        Except that allowing it to continue is going to make it get so much worse it crashes our economy. It's a matter of integrity - and far, far too many people have little or no integrity. It's sad. It might cost more money to stop it - right now - but over decades, the savings would be dramatic.

          If you look at the way school aged children are coddled compared to say 50 years ago.

          Lets see, we provide transportation to and from school.

          Kids these days get free before school meals, free lunch, and after school care.

          The only thing the public schools aren’t providing is to bathe them and put them to bed each night.

              Oh yea, lets cut our defense spending while China and Russia are increasing theirs.  Very smart.

                Maybe cut all the free stuff given to illegals would be a good start, had Joe finished the wall we would have saved billions.
