Quote from clacy:
I would be in favor of all of these. Can you imagine how much better our educational system would be with vouchers?
Even the public schools would become good again.
Oh yea.
Thats the only perennial handout I'm for - free education.
Private and Home schools are vastly superior than Public Schooling.
Public Schools now-a-days are indoctrination factories for Socialism and Global Government.
No Science. No Math. No REAL History. The methodology is designed to bore students, rather than excite! Curriculum is boiled down to the lowest common brainwave - talented kids slip through the cracks, unchallenged.
With Competition in Education, test scores would EXPLODE many standard deviations.
The entire capital base of a Nation is its people. Encourage a free, efficient and superior learning System? Fuck, we'd be colonizing the Stars within 100 years.
Its time for Change. Not this Establishment Counterfeit Garbage thats a variation on the Status Quo.
We need real Change.

This should be fun:
1) Shut-down the Federal Reserve.
2) Print DEBT-FREE Currency
3) Print sufficient Green-Backs to service Debt Interest and Principle
- Save 400 Billion, first year alone.
4) Cut Defense Budget in Half (Save 200 Billion)
5) End Iraq War, bring Troops Home (Save 130 Billion)
6) Shut-Down the Border (25 Billion+)
7) Decommission the Dept of Energy, Agriculture, Education, HomeLand Security, HUD, Health and Human Services. Save ~300 Billion.
8) End the IRS, Income Tax, and Institute a Federal POS Consumption Tax of 10%
Maintain dependent programs, allow young people to opt-out, gradually phase out the programs.
Savings = 1 Trillion to 1.5 Trillion.
Further:
1) Institute Malpractise Liability Caps to reduce Medical Costs.
2) Break up AMA monopoly on enrollment, to reduce medical costs.
3) De-regulate Medical Insurers
Savings = ~200 Billion.
4) Strip all Unions of legal force.
5) Break up Academic Monopolies on College Accreditation.
4) Cap bloated Government Pensions at 60% Gross Earning.
Savings = ~100 Billion.
Other Costs:
1) Rebate Federal Voucher of $3,000 per child, for Private Education Tuition. Annual.
Cost = ~200 Billion.
Projected Total Savings = 1.1 to 1.6 Trillion Dollars.
The only way this will happen is at the point of many guns.
Quote from clacy:
We are certainly at a tipping point where Americans will have to decide if they want craddle to grave entitlements and 70% tax rates, essentially working for the government, OR do we chose to reduce/limit government and keep our overall freedoms, which is what the country's founders intended.
If we choose socialism, I would estimate that around 20% of the population would see in increase in their standard of living, although it would be a slight increase.
20% would stay about the same and the remaining 60% would see their standard of living decrease, in my opinion.
With captialism, you'll still have winners and losers, but at least it will still be up to you to determine your lot in life.
I definately feel more confident about my abilities to make a life for myself and family, than I do about the governement determining my fate.
and 10% just leave the country!
