Tough Love

Tough Love

Have you ever heard the term “tough love”?

I think our government needs some tough love.

For example:

1. Welfare needs to be revamped.
a. All applicants must be fingerprinted to stop duplicate issues of welfare.
b. Food stamps should have limits on what it can be used for; example no steaks, etc. but the type of food hard working people on a low income eat.
c. After two years on welfare, then mandatory training for a job to continue receiving benefits. People unable to work, should be on disability benefits.
2. Medicare needs to be revamped.
a. Set up parameters to stop abuse.
3. Maximum term for any political office should be limited to 4 years, with each term being only 2 years.
a. Hopefully, this would end career politicians.
4. Supreme Court should be elected every 4 years and not appointed by crooked politicians.
5. No retirement benefits for any Politician other than what any American citizen would receive.
6. No exceptions to any law for any politician, they can live by the same laws they pass for everyone else.
7. Cut ALL frivolous spending.
a. No need to buy art when we can’t afford to pay our bills.
b. No giving to disasters outside of our country until we are out of debt.
c. Cut government jobs by at least 20%.
8. Let the states take care of their own people.
a. Let more taxes go to the states and less to the government.
b. Let each state pass laws on welfare for their state. They know what they can afford.
9. Instead of paying more unemployment for long term unemployment, let them work for the military. Government is spending money get some use out of it.
10. Security profiling instead of harassing obvious law abiding citizens.
11. No politician can vote themselves a raise. This must be approved by the people.
12. Outlaw death taxes. The money has already been over taxed as it is.
13. All spending should be viewable by all tax payers; after all they work for the people.
14. When media “supports” a candidate then all their air time about that candidate counts as a donation.
This is just a start.

Now let the fireworks begin.
