Rescuing America! Time to Talk Serious Solutions

Milton Friedman’s economics make sense.  He proposed cutting most cabinet-level departments:  Education, Commerce, Energy, Agriculture, half of Health & Human Services, Housing & Urban Development, Interior (and return 90% of federally owned land to the People and the states), Labor, Transportation.

John Ransom, townhall.com, offers these wise recommendations for reform.  These should be front and center:

1) Impose term limits on Congress.
2) Enact a single-subject rule in Congress to prevent pork barrel spending from being inserted into bills, say, on disaster relief.
3) Limit all legislation to 100 pages.
4) Enact a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution.
5) Scrap the current tax code in favor of a flat tax or fair tax.
6) Allow no bills be introduced unless they qualified under the 10th Amendment as powers specifically reserved for the federal government.

I would add: legislators cannot exempt themselves from the laws they impose on us!

Finally, for my money, you will not find a better agenda for change than the one submitted by Sen. Rand Paul for your consideration:
