What would it take?

Ask and ye shall receive: Look at all these useless gov't programs (http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/62-agencies-and-programs-trump-wants-to-eliminate/ar-BByb5tr?li=BBnb7Kz)that Trump is going to get rid of.

If I was President, one of the first things I would do would bring in private, apolitical companies from outside to do massive research within the government that tackled accounting, impact and efficiency. I would task them with different areas of the government to tackle waste.

The government and our tax money support way too many things that governments are not suppose to do. We have too much special interest control our money. Id probably look at that biggest institutions military, interior, state and go after them.

There needs to be more effing accountability with tax money. Id go after entitlement programs hardcore. We have become a welfare state under Obama.

Gonna assume with a 54 bil jump in the military budget they don't think waste is a big priority in the military. Otherwise why push the budget up, when you could do some accounting and eliminate waste?

I'm just gonna go ahead and assume nobody here is affected by any of these programs in any way.

One thing we have to remember, private business have to answer to their shareholders, stakeholders, etc for earnings. Numbers are scrutinized...innovation is ongoing, inefficiencies are examined, etc.

The federal government doesn't answer to anybody...and it's out of fucking control. Why is fairfax, Montgomery, loudon counties all the most wealthiest counties in the country? That fuckin teat.

Trump is all about jobs, but these proposed cuts will cost a lot of federal workers their jobs, many of them veterans too. As we know he's all about taking care of the vets too.

They could always apply at the DoD. Should be plenty of them there...

:doh:

i guess none of the seniors really need meals on wheels any way, huh chico?

I've actually have volunteered with an org that works with them a couple times. It's impactful. It's funded a lot with The Department of Housing and Urban Development program called Community Development Block Grants. I believe these blocks are given to states to divide among programs as the see fit.

I think they are trying to do away with this type of funding, but not the program. Certain effective programs would be funded by other means. The problem with these blocks are the states aren't using them effectively and waste has developed. I don't want get into the whole poverty pimps type language...but some of that is going on.

A couple of points, I said it earlier as well. There is only so much outrage to go around so if you threaten
Meals on Wheels
Energy assistance
National Endowment for the arts

you will end up finally getting rid of the Nat End for the arts while still subsidizing meals on wheels and energy assistance.

If you only threaten Nat. End for the arts, all the outrage will go against subsidizing the poor starving artists.

It's brilliant, I do the same thing with craigslist. Your initial asking price is high because you know people will settle for the original price you already wanted.

Here is an Idea, get rid of "privet contractors" in the Military,they do our work and don't have to answer to a soul for twice the money!:confused?:
