What are you willing to pay?

With all the Tea Party fan fare, there has been a steady liberal attack on the tea party faithful over federal spending. I’ve heard libturds say such ridiculous things as “Well,I guess we should close all prisons, and stop funding the military too”…That got me thinking a bit.

So what are tea party’ers willing to fund? can we say stop spending except for things we like?

Well, I’m more than willing to pay my fair share on things that fedzilla should be responsible for such as:
1.Military.

2.Prisons

3. Infrastructure

4. Law enforcement/Fire Dept.

Now, lets look at a few other things that I’m ok with, not thrilled but OK. (this my get some paulinista’s and even some hard core conservatives upset but oh well)

I’m not a fan of Government running anything, but they do run these things and they are wrought with fraud. I’m OK with my money helping those in need, but I’m totally against my money going to help those that are abusing a good idea.

1. Social security. I would have been against it when it started, but since I’ve been paying into it for over 30 years I want it there if/when I need it.

2. Unemployment benefits. With a couple of restrictions. the recipient must have been employed 2 years for every month of benefits. I’m sick of folks getting unemployment checks that only worked for a year or two and keep drawing checks for 6 months, then can get a 3 month extension. Also, every recipient must submit to random drug testing after the first month. I have no problem taking a little out of my paycheck to help those TRULY in need, and more than willing to work. The old saying “There but by the grace of God go I” comes to mind. I’ve worked ever since I was old enough to do so, and I’ve never collected a DIME of unemployment state or federal aid. BUT I’d like to know if things got bad, I’d a get a little something to bridge the gap since I’ve been putting into it all these years.

3. Disability. The TRULY disabled. I’d like to see a policy of more than one Doc being able to send in the recommendation. One corrupt doc costs all of us a lot of money. I’d like to see a panel of docs that have to agree on disability rather than it being left to a personal Doctor. I have a personal Doc, when I see him with an ailment, I could tell him I need to be out of work for a month and he’d write it up for me…I’d bet quite a few Doc’s out there especially in HMO’s will do the same.

4. Welfare. WITH A LOT OF RESTRICTIONS.

1. Limit the length of time one can collect it.

2. Mandatory Drug testing for all recipients

3. Able bodied recipients must put in at least 20 hours a week for the city/state in which they live. Graffiti removal, litter removal, janitorial, cutting grass or whatever.

4. End the addition of child credits, no more of the “The more kids you have the more money you get” rule.

5. No Illegal Immigrant shall collect a dime.

6. Mandatory job search checks, if the person is not looking for work, he/she needs to work for the welfare check by working for the city/state doing things that benefit those that are paying for the checks….US.

There are probably a few more that I’d like to see but that’s the biggest part. The libturds paint us as heartless fat cats that want to step on the little guy…Dumbasses I am the little guy.

These are socialist ideals, yes I agree they are. I also know that it’s intent was to assist people in their time of need using the masses to pay small amounts in order to allow those truly desolate a hand up. A noble cause indeed. What has happened since the idea is less than noble. The funds for those socialist tenets became a right rather than an emergency fund, they have became a hand out. People have begun to live on them and ask for more, people have became “Entitled” rather than thankful.

These 4 items need REFORM in the truest sense of the word. But in classic case, our idiots in DC are reforming something else that will make it to #5 on my list very shortly.

  1. Prisons and Welfare should be self sustaining or nearly so. People that get released after their sentence or on parole should pay back the system for their upkeep. People should be striving to get off welfare and should again pay back the system when they do. I’m not a big fan of removing children from their home but anyone having more kids when they can’t feed the ones they have is irresponsible and shouldn’t have any.

    Disability and the medical system are in DIRE need of an ethics fix. Their priorities are horrible and the VAST majority of medical personnel are just drug pushers with a permit and have no interest in healing their patients.

    each of these systems need to be as uncomplicated as possible to keep down the costs of personnel and infrastructure. Any system that requires the use of attorneys just to do the paperwork increases our dependence on a ‘ruling class’ and reduces our self reliance / independence.

  2. Well, prisons CAN be self sustaining, or at least on an 80/20 split. Prisons should be used as labor pools for all the work “Americans won’t do”
    For instance. Prison inmates, can be taken to farms to work, the farm owners donate the crops/meat necessary for the prison food supply. Farm owners pay no labor costs, food prices drop, illegals have no jobs to come here illegally for, inmates that don’t want to work in the fields don’t come back to prison, and those working in the fields will be too tired to riot… it’s all pluses my friend.
