i have an idea. let's cut the budget of everything domestic. education? of course we don't need that. all of the important kids are going to private schools anyway. if the poor aren't ignorant, how can they be ground under the heel of society? healthcare. now that just has to go. bunch of medicaid/medicare freeloading beggars, everyone's looking for a handout these days just because they're "old and on a fixed income" or "broke." just because their "health problem" keeps them from getting a "job." try harder, you whiners.
i've got another great domestic black hole we can stop throwing money into. let's cut back the cabinet. let's see how high ranking government officials do when forced to live on twenty grand a year. let the senate have a five thousand dollar deductible and need a new gallbladder. with great wealth comes great power, but let's change that. how about this: we'll borrow and idea from monks of all stripes and religions. you want power, influence, if you want people to listen to your every word, take a vow of poverty. live simply and be no more harmful a parasite than absolutely necessary. i'll bet we could have a better class of politician in inside of a week.
god, fuck bush.
