I have been known to say, a time or two, "don't complain about a problem unless you can offer a solution".



So, before you completely wreck the economy, BHO, use this idea to create jobs: for every new job, rebate half of the income tax that new employee pays back to the hiring company. Simple, right? If a truck driver or assembly worker is hired and falls in the 20% tax bracket, rebate the company 10% of his wages. Good for the new employee, good for the company, good for the country.



Here's another idea, to help with your promise to "take a scalpel to the federal budget": stop payments for nothing, like paying farmers NOT to grow crops. How stupid is that? If the market can't support the crops, grow something else! Duh!

Okay, one more: stop the tax breaks for companies that operate overseas to avoid US taxes. 'Nuff said there.

Here's a thought on education: too much of the money spent on public education is spent on bureaucracy and administration. If we can cut back on the administration and shift the money to pay teachers and pay for supplies, education will improve. Also, since our students are lagging students in many other countries, add an hour of instruction to every school day. Five hours a week will allow time for a second language, physical education, geometry, etc. You just have to shut the unions up - better yet - get rid of them. It'll be better for all our kids!

Illegal immigrants... your own aunt is one and she's living in subsidized housing! She was told to leave four years ago by a judge, but she's still here. And she got subsidized housing - how in the world does that happen??? (The fact that she and you broke the law when she donated $260 to your campaign doesn't really matter in this rant.) The problem is that we don't enforce the law. The first thing we (the country) needs to do is to enforce the law because the illegals are making the economy worse. Then, revise the law to make it easier and take less time. But, make it a requirement that they learn the language! Make them legal, collect taxes and social security from them, so they are not such a burden on society.


I'll have more to say soon...
