What I feel we need to do as a Nation;
First is to freeze all spending on everything but the war. Don’t spend another dime on any new programs.
Lets take a good hard look at what we have now. Those programs that need to be fixed lets fix them first. Social Security is one program that we all know needs to be fixed. Lets fix it. Make the hard political choice or as we used to say “man up”. Why should we start another new program when we have on this large that needs to be fixed? Lets fix one problem at a time.
From there we need to fix Medicare and Medicaid, we all know there are major problems with these programs so lets fix them before we start thinking about Nationalized health care.
Our borders are still wide open, lets seal the borders. I am not against legal immigration so please spare me the racist remarks. We spend a ton of money each year on illegal immigrants on both housing and medical care. We need to make sure that a person who is getting treatment at a hospital is here in our country legally. I am not saying do not treat those who come in needing care, but while you are treating them, INS needs to be called so they can pick them up, and deport them. If a person is not a citizen of our country they should not have the same rights as a citizen. I do not want them abused, just deported. It’s very simple thing to do, you know someone is breaking a law make them report it. We need to say enough is enough. Its time we got tough with people breaking our laws. This is part of the reason that our health care is so expensive, people come into out ER’s and know they will be treated. Fine treat them but deport them when they are well enough to travel.
Outlaw the word marriage for our legal contracts that the states sell. Call them what they are “Civil Unions” and be done with the Gay marriage issue. No matter how you feel on the issue the bottom line is 2 consenting adults should have the same rights regardless of their sexual preferences…. We have wasted way to much time on this issue.
Return all power that is not entrusted to the Federal Government by the Constitution to the States. This would save a ton of money from the Federal Budget and Save the states money. Less taxes from the Federal Government and more money would go to the States budget. This way people can see what they are paying for. As it is now I have no clue as to where are tax dollars are going to. Other then all of the bailouts.
Get rid of the Czars! They are not a part of the checks and balances of our Government, in fact if challenged they may even be Unconstitutional. Another words illegal. They are not confirmed by the Senate, and they only answer to the President? something is wrong with that picture….. It’s why we have checks and balances… We should never have allowed the first Czar, since it is a cabinet position in everything but name…
Any new spending bill that We feel we need should be listed on line, the entire bill, with a detailed list of where the money is going and why.. No more blank checks.
Repeal the TARP bailouts we have not spent all of the money so lets stop it. Repeal the Stimulus bill, once again we have not spent all of the money, so lets pull back. The economy has not nor will it be really helped by it. So lets not waste anymore of out tax money.
It does not matter what party you belong to, we should be above party’s Let focus not on a party but on what’s best for America.
If you really believe that going in debt more then we already are as a Nation is good or needed, then you need a reality check
These are just a few things that I feel we need to act on today, not next week!
