Balance the budget by cutting spending.
1. Eliminate the Dept. of Education
2. Simplify the tax code and drastically reduce the size of the IRS
3. Representative's staff should be cut in half.
4. Close all U.S. military bases in Germany.
5. Eliminate all farm subsidies
6. Eliminate all gov't payments to illegal aliens
Other than number 4 this is probably the best of all the posts. Or at least the one that makes the most sense. The other dribble all attack the DOD, when we all no that the biggest waste in government comes from the DOE and pork barrel spending.

Conservatism, I repeat is not an ideology. It does not breed fanatics....But if you want men who seek, reasonably and prudently, to reconcile the best in wisdom of our ancestors with the change which is essential to a vigorous civil social existence, then you will do well to turn to conservative principles
