First, go to a flat tax or another easier tax system...get rid of most of the IRS...get rid of the Dept. of Education and allow the states to keep that money...or more importantly the tax payers.....that would be the start....get rid of the grants for humanities or whatever that is called...stop most foreign aid to enemies of this country...do an audit on all government agencies...reign them in and cut their staff an initial 10% and then dig in and see how much more you can cut them.....cut back on congressional staff and perks.....
The list would be endless.......mention some and I'll let you know...
Phase out Social Security into another, more effective system...encourage people to save their own money for retirement......
Get rid of the post office...let the private sector handle it...........
You answered half of the question, what might be the cost-deficits?
Don't know...not an accountant...I do know that 10% across the board all government agencies is more than safe....and then we see what else we can cut....the IRS is only needed for a complex tax code....enforcement of an easier tax code would need less people...and less attacking of conservative groups.....
Let me help:
How do you create a Recession? Cut jobs - we are a consumer driven economy. Don't be fooled by the Limbaughs', the only thing that trickles down is misery.
- Unemployment will spike, not only will the 10% of government employees lose their job, so will the baker, the butcher and the sandwich maker.
- Unemployed government workers have mortgages, many will lose their homes
- Home values will drop, impacting those who are deeply in debt
- Loan agents, Real Estate Agents and others in the home industry will be impacted
- Real estate investors will lose equity, and will try to sell before they go underwater
- The unemployed will default on car loans, bankers will stop making loans
- The value of commercial real estate will drop, as empty space grows it will begin impacting the jobs of leasing agents, window washers and custodians - more stress on state and local government
- Shops on Main St. America will be empty
- Local government will lose revenue, more government jobs will be eliminated
You're deliberately ignoring the fact that the taxpayers will all have more money in their pay checks, which means more spending and more jobs.
