Why do you employ IRS agents when the IRS doesn't even have to exist?
Why do you spend billions of dollars on an education system that doesn't work?
Why employ people, and give them lifetime pensions, to recommend Turtle Tunnels? A fourth grader could do that.
Why build a bridge to nowhere?
High speed rail from Orlando to Tampa? You've got to be kidding.
Government is FAT, and it needs to be trimmed. Not with a scalpal, but with an axe.
The IRS has to exist. Regardless of what you call it, some government agency has to collect taxes. Taxes fund government programs. The individual income tax is just one tax the IRS collects. You can do away with this or that tax but the Internal Revenue Service will be one of the last agencies to go if the whole government went away. However, there are some other agencies or Departments that we can do without. The Department of Education, for example, didn't exist until 1979. You could make the case that it has done nothing to improve the education of US children since it came into existence seeing as how we are so non-competitive with other countries in math, science and reading these days. It needs to be downgraded from a Department (meaning lots of executive and high paid feds get eliminated) and get out of the way of the states. I would think even the teachers unions and school administrators would want their bureaucratic red tape to go away so they can get back to educating versus administrative work. Secondly, have you seen the organizational structure for Obamacare? Yikes!
The problem with stimulus was it wasn't stimulus. The states used the money they got to pay their bills and most of the rest of it was earmarks for friendlies of the Democrat Congress, Senate and the President. Like Bush, can you name all of the bills that Obama has vetoed?
Right now they could put into place a hiring freeze and lose government employees through attrition (retirement, quitting) and not replace them. This way, no one loses a job and yet there are still cuts. Like you, I'm waiting for the candidate who will say these things.

actually right now there is a hiring hold..and a 2 year pay freeze
But you still would support regulating the exact same pollutants just as the EPA is doing currently?
I'm not a scientist, so I'm hardly the person to answer that question. I'm sure that for every pollutant they've got right, there are a few they have wrong...thats just the nature of nobody being perfect.
Liberals believe in government as a provider of solutions and it can be when people have their heads on straight and contribute sensibly to the process.
When half of America doesn't pay taxes, how do they contribute?
Anyone who has their head on straight can see that these recipients ( nearly 100% Democrats ) don't contribute sensibly to the process.

They only take from it.
Please stop making sh !t up. The Top 10 Poorest States in the country ARE ALL REPUBLICAN RED. Every single last one. The Top 10 Richest States in the country are ALL BLUE LIBERAL STATES. Every single last one. How people like you continue to live in your warped bubble mind astounds me.
Some people hate their government so much that they want to hurt it and their method is to cut it which means that a million people could lose their jobs.
Millions of people didn't have to be hired in the first place. It is an FDR mentality that Democrats have adopted. That government is ALWAYS the solution.
Sorry, the hiring of millions of people, who are not any longer useful, was a failure.
our saftey standards are SO much better now than they were in the past, I dont think we need to be overloading business with these regulations that for the most part consumers have come to expect and demand.
And why do you think they're so much better? Because of EPA regulations. Take those away, and how long will it take corporations to start cutting corners again?
They have shown no regard for the welfare of the average American citizen in any other areas, unless you happen to be an investor. Out-sourcing, cutting benefits, workers receiving no wage increases for years, for example.
