So conservatives want to cut spending. Ok, from where? If you cut into welfare or cut entire government agencies like education you will put more people on the street and unemployed. So you solve the deficit and skyrocket homelessness and unemployment as well as create a revenue problem possibly increasing the deficit that way. I thought conservatives were griping that Obama had a high unemoyment rate and their solution is to raise that.
We need revenue from some place to fund a job training program to put people back to work.
Love your answer. So you can think of no place to reduce federal govt expenditures?
- reduce aid to other countries.
- look for efficiencies in on federal agencies, eliminate duplications, consolidate where possible.
- as people retire from the federal workforce, really look at if the position needs to be filled. (hence no addition to unemployment)
See there are ways. How come the otherside is so fixed on revenue with little talk about reductions?
