With all this talk about reducing government spending, it’s time to get to specifics. Here are my ideas:
First off, why do we pay politicians? Sadly, lots of them would love to meddle with everything we do for free, so let’s cut off all pay and benefits for them.
Second, federal buildings — get rid of them. People have the internet now, let’s just telecommute.
Finally, I don’t like poor people. I think we should remove all spending that’s for them.
What are your ideas for cutting spending?
We should cut spending to the (T)ouching (S)exual (A)reas. It really is getting to be ridiculous. You can’t get on a plane anymore without risking being randomly plucked from a line so that strangers hired to fill affirmative action quotas can look at your naked body or fondle your private parts.
This is no different than the federal employees getting paid to look at porn all day on their work computers.
I was relegated to the spam box. 🙂
Make everything free! Rage against the machine!
How about we tie a congress critter’s pay to the economy? At the end of each fiscal year if there is a deficit we deduct that same percentage from their pay and that is the new norm. If their pay level ever gets to zero we force them to sell an organ with the proceeds going to Free Ice Cream for welfare queens.
Public schools. Probably pretty clear at this point that no matter how much money is thrown at it, the system has failed. And what effectiveness it does have is wasted on programs to boost self-esteem.
Let’s start by not giving hundreds of millions of dollars to Palestinians.
How about every time they raise taxes, they get an automatic pay cut. And every time they cut taxes they get a pay raise.
1) Move the TSA to all Federal Government buildings and start patting down Fed Nads. We’ll see how long they stay in business then!
2) At the airport, if you are not a muslim, you get to move to your gate without proving you are not a terrorist! At least if you have blue eyes like I do you get a free pass!
3) At the airport if you are a Mooooslim, you get like totally strip searched, deep cavity searched, nad searched and then cattle prod searched just to be sure! Won’t save any money but I will “feel better”…
4)Congress shall meet for one week per year and the members are paid a total of $1,000 for that week, period!
5)When Congress is not in session, no Federal offices except the FBI and CIA along with the Military are allowed to be open and staff will not be paid!
By the way, Frank if that is really Natassia’s picture and you sent her to the Spam Box, I now get you and the Twitter thing!

You realize this would just be an increase in government waste by job duplication, right? I mean, what else are paiges for?
I think the government should pay people to stay home and not work, not produce anything. Then tax that money that they are given to pay them to have kids. The more money these non-working, non-producing people receive, the more money can be taxed. ta da!! revenue!! And anyone that refuses to not work will be taxed at 99% as punishment for not caring about those who are less fortunate than them.
Anything that’s not the military. Good enough? Yes.
And tell the military they have a lot of waste they can eliminate.
#9 Aways…love that one!
Repeal Obamacare. Make Nutsy Pelosi travel by wagon train. Better yet, make her travel by donkey. Stop giving money to baby killers like Planned Parenthood (350 mil? What the F…) . Throw California out of the Union, we can’t afford it!
No money to save any species that isn’t a cat.
Elimnate the TSA. Spend one thjird of the money saved on arming passengers. Problem solved, and fun for all.
My plan, which is mine, is to make every day a holiday for all federal workers. They’re gonna get paid anyway, but I’m guessing the government would spend less money if they were home watching TV all day.
Obama is technically a federal worker.
Turn the Bronx into one huge sealed off prison and televise their ‘sporting events’.
Move all government offices to the bottom of the Mariana Trench, for their safety.
Give Hillsdale College power of attorney over all educational offices.
@1 Natassia: Cut the TSA
I agree. I am more than willing to pluck women out of the line and “Frisk” them for free.
Cut the epa, if you want to save the planet, tie yourself to the end of the industrial waste tube.
Cut the dept of ag. I know where my cows have been and what they eat. But I am not so sure of the inspector that doesn’t speak English.
Move the capitol to the moon. Then be patient, congress will be in session soon enough.
Take michael moore off of food stamps.
Make soylent green out of welfare mamas and sell them to the mooslems as potted beef.
Just cut off insurance coverage for Pelosi’s botox. It would save billions…
NO MORE ORANGE SIGNS!
14 orange signs leading up to their latest monument to “don’t kill the job” saying left lane closed and of course, “speeding fines doubled”. Since I’ve now seen 2 different people get right to the point where the concrete things are and slam on their brakes and cut people off to move over, these signs are obviously a complete waste of money and are keeping people alive who shouldn’t be. That includes the union hacks who take 3 months to put up a sign that for the last 50 years didn’t need to be there.
I think the government should pay people to stay home and not work, not produce anything.
…..they already do, millions of them.
Make congress critter pay = to gov. worker pay = avg American worker pay (count illegals too) -10%.
Cut all government dept budgets by 25%
Stop screwing with Soc. Sec ( If it was left as a “locked box” that it was supposed to be there wouldn’t be a problem now).
Welfare and unemployment should end and be replaced with some form of productive labor.
ie. pick up garbage along roads, harvest crops, don’t care, just no more freebee’s
term limits
FORCE BALANCE BUDGETS AND DROP DEBT CEILING BY 10% A YEAR
just to start….
Cut off CA. I live in CA, surrounded by idiots and, well, more idiots.
We spend way too much enforcing the borders. We could save half of that money by just eliminating Canada.
For that matter, Mexico doesn’t provide much of a benefit, either.
We could take over Canada with a couple of Brigaides of Female Marines. That will leave our bad boys to go down to Mexico and kick some gang butt. Or we could just nuke em’ both and wait for the air to clear before we move in…
How about we shut down and eliminate all our military bases in Europe. After all…WW II has been over for sixty-five years and the Soviet Union has been gone for nearly twenty years. I realize the Russians are still untrustworthy bastards, but if they were to start a war in Europe that would be a problem for the rest of Europe to solve. Why should we get dragged into it? Same for problems in the Balkans. If those folks wish to kill each other off let the Europeans straighten the mess out. This move could save the Defense Dept. millions of dollars per year.
@zzyzx: Excellent! Cut all of our overseas military commitments. I’m with ya. The only nation I’d continue to support (not with troops) is Israel. O.K., we’ll keep our base on Greenland, too. Dont’ know when we might need it.
Pony up world; we’re tired of keeping your peace at our expense.
Hey some of us like to be groped by the TSA predators it’s the only action we’re going to get all year. Although I bet you could get them all on the run if Chris Hansen would just show up with his camera crew.
I’d say stop funding Israel not because I’m antisemitic but because I want to see how good they are at throwing rocks too. It’s been a long time since we’ve had a good old fashioned Stone Age war. No spears or clubs just rocks. If we can’t do that then I say super fund them and only them and just let them loose. I’m pretty sure they could deliver peace in the middle east.
Why stop there though cut off everyone else in the world as well, wouldn’t it be fun to watch Europe burns itself to the ground again. Just to remind Americans how much we don’t want to be like them……oh they’re doing that already. Well still cut off the money and send in the dinosaurs with rockets and then we’ll really see the socialist fur fly.
While we’re at it I don’t know what we’re paying to keep the moon around, I guess to catch asteroids for us. If we’re not going to nuke it let’s cut it loose too. I don’t surf so if it’s gone it wont bother me in the least. But lets get our flag back first.
Let’s also quit paying teachers I want to find out just how many of them really love doing what they do for the children or if in fact they do it for the money/benefits/security.
I suggest we cut all government funding to sanctuary cities including federal and state, and confiscate the local tax revenue to boot. We then use one tenth of those proceeded to set up the Department of Ridicule, their mission being to make fun of the conditions in those cities due to the decisions those people made, as well as maybe later mocking other stupid ideas in the rest of the government.
I think getting rid of ;
TSA
Department of Education
and the Eternal Revenue Service would just about bring us even.
Talk about you’re waste fraud and abuse. Literally.
Keep in mind P. J. O’Rourke’s ‘circumcision paradigm’: you can take 10% off the top of anything.
