An actual road to budget recpovery

If you pay tax, I just saved you 30%.
I've been take, take, taking from this country, and I'm giving some back. Since there are evidently no adults left in Washington D.C, when it comes to fiscal discipline, I'll do it myself.  In fact, I already did it.  Below.  Anybody who argues with my budget is a terrorist.

Damn HUD! They've called to get me to take a survey 3 nights this week during dinner.

Cut their damn budget and stop the f-ing calls.

I did more than cut the budget, I eliminated that worthless agency.

"Brilliant Rodger, absolutely brilliant."

I agree with that. And it reminds me, what time does the bar open? I could use a Guinness or two on this most special day.

I totaled the number. WTF, Rodger, when did you become a flaming liberal?

Treasury? What for? Boortz's Fair Tax solves pretty much everything.

SSA? Establish owned IRAs for everyone under 45. Over 45, sorry, it's too late to kill the Ponzi scheme for them. It stays till they're dead.

GSA? WTF? Local people can't take care of buildings? How many buildings does a little federal government need, anyway?

State Dept. needs 13 Mill? WTF for? Bombs are cheap, and they're in the DOD budget anyway. Put the money there where it'll do some good.

And all this time I thought you were a libertarian or conservative or something.

Damn liberals.

Good start Rog. but the bastards just passed a 2.8 Trillion budget for FY 2007 and you only accounted fot 1.57 Trillion. Where's the other 1.23 Trillion?

I didn't see one either, so maybe Bush's 2006 Budget eliminated them the old fashioned way. I linked the PDF file, so have at it. :D

If only.

Just to propose one or two of your cuts would be worth it to watch Teddy's head finally explode.

I suppose it's a start.

I could simplify the process by just saying eliminate anything the federal government should never have had their dick-skinners into in the first place.
