The US is subsidizing low wages. SNAP and TANF are just transfer payments to WalMart and Dollar General

As you are going to run for President, you will need to name people to various cabinet positions. I suggest myself for treasury secretary.

My Qualifications:

I can add and subtract
I know that deficits = bad, surpluses = good
I know that debt = bad, no debt = good
I will propose that anyone who suggests an income tax be declared a traitor and executed on the spot
I have paid my taxes (unlike a current Treasury Secretary that I could mention)
I have a business degree
I have same first name as the current TS so we’d save money changing only the last names on the TS’s cards and office door

My only condition is that I may be allowed to execute any traitors who propose any income taxes.

I have two more moderate budget proposals: http://spootville.blogspot.com/2012/11/frank-j-for-president.html

One highlight of a moderate budget is that we eliminate all welfare spending and give each person in poverty a check for $30,000. We can do that and still balance the budget.

(If cooperation from democrats is unnecessary, then disregard all moderate spending plans.)

I hope that you’ll name me Treasury Secretary as I, unlike the person who currently holds the position, can add, subtract, and have paid my taxes.

Sincerely,

Tim

P.S. A quote from President Cleveland:

I can find no warrant for such an appropriation in the Constitution, and I do not believe that the power and duty of the General Government ought to be extended to the relief of individual suffering which is in no manner properly related to the public service or benefit. A prevalent tendency to disregard the limited mission of this power and duty should, I think, be steadfastly resisted, to the end that the lesson should be constantly enforced that though the people support the Government the Government should not support the people.
