Fire 75% of federal employees
Fire 50% of state employees
Change unemployment insurance to 8 weeks
Repeal student loan program
Pass Balanced Budget Amendment
All of those fired government employees will need to sustain themselves - which means they need work. Opportunities need to be available for the people removed from government - so rules need to be in play that make it easier for businesses to exist.

Great. You just immediately created a recession and likely a depression. Smart move. I'm guessing it would be easy for you to suggest repeating a student loan program since it's clearly something that you will never need to use.

Let me guess what your solution would be....
1) Raise taxes on Middle class and upper class earners
2) Extend unemployment bennies indefinitely
3) Expand the size of government
4) Institute collectivism
5) Double welfare bennies and food stamp programs

Yeah, that has been proven to work
There really is no excuse for "ignorance"...
So you're defending the OP's ideas? I just want to be clear here...

I would lay off 30% of Federal Employees, 30% of state employees.
Otherwise, I don't think it's too radical what you're proposing.

Yes, but it needs to be done slowly, not all at once
We need to cut the size of government dependency...... and YES that includes bailouts, corporate welfare, military spending etc.
I know that Democrat voters HATE the idea of self sufficiency, but it is good in the long run
Were did you get the 50-75% from? How would you asses if these cuts are too deep?
