*Shakes head in disapointment* What really boggles my mind about the Tea Party is that they seem to think that the only way to reduce the amount of government we have now is to completely cut the social programs we have now. And in some cases that would be as useful as throwing the baby out with the bath water.
Really, there is quite a bit of money to be cut from the DoD. And not Ayieke's hair-brained ideas of reducing the total armed forces by two-thirds. I'm talking about reducing the number of high-ranking officers. We need to find a way to stop senseless price gouging (this little circuit card cost four-thousand dollars and has all the processing power of a pocket calculator). Really, I know these companies employ a lot of people, but I'm not talking about putting them out of business. I'm talking about putting them on an even footing with their civilian counterparts... oh wait, they have no civilian counterparts, do they?
We can also cut back on the retirement pensions of retired politicians and reduce their secret service coverage. (Really, if they play no active roll in politics then what kind of target are they? Even if terrorists do gun down a retired senator and all it'll do is just piss people off and increase our resolve to rid ourselves of them.) And for god sakes, can we please streamline Homeland Security?
That's something else that pisses me off. What in the BLUE FUCK does copyright infringement have to do with national security, and why the hell does Homeland Security need to get involved with it? That is something for the FBI. Homeland Security needs to focus on what they were created for - hunting for terrorists in our own back yard.
And if you want to cut back on Medicare and Medicade so badly, then start at the root of the problem - the medical system itself.
