How to Balance the Federal Budget: Unfund Everything!

[MineralMan]

Is that the next step for Congress and Trump? Just don't authorize any funding, but collect the taxes. That'll get rid of that pesky national debt, for sure.

1. As far as the GOP is concerned all the government

should consist of is the military and the court system.

The worthy wealthy class will just nuild themselves gated communities with armed guards to keep themselves safe from the impoverished hoards.

2. Yup!

I'm convinced the Tax Scam Bill is simply a backdoor to defund everything (but the military, of course). The so-called conservatives can live with the momentary blip of red ink on the country's spreadsheet until they return from the holidays. Then the bleating will pick up over the staggering numbers and the 'need' to cut those pesky entitlements--SS, Medicare, Medicaid.

Mission Accomplished. Because . . . FREEDOM.

Paul Ryan remarked how the Tax Deform Bill was a profound change that relied on exquisite presidential leadership. Senator Hatch referred to The Donald as the best president in a generation, maybe in the history of the United States.

When you can lie like that, you can lie about anything and everything.

Starve the Beast in motion.
