These calls for cuts are going to hurt the plans presented elsewhere on this board vis a vis firearm homicide. Better mental health support, arming and training teachers, hardening of security at soft targets and more prison space for the longer sentences for the violently inclined--these things all cost money.
Well, we wouldn’t cut those things. Or Defense. Or my Social Secuity check. And keep government’s hands off of my Medicare.
Just the “waste”. Or any money that goes to people who aren’t me.
The only real area left with enough budget to make a difference is military. Taxes really need to go back up, government needs to tighten the belt across the board, we need big cuts to military spending and foreign aid. When the credit card is maxed out, you don't go out for steak dinner
