Baseline Budgeting is a Big Fat Lie

I admire Paul Ryan. I think he would have been an awesome President, much better than the two who were running, or the one who managed to get 104% of the vote in Cuyahoga County. I have admired his budgets, while wondering why Harry Reid cannot be impeached for failing to bring any budget up in the last six years or so.
His budget that brings us to solvency is great, as a start. But why does it take ten years to do it?  Are you seriously thinking that D.C could follow any budget for ten whole years?  They'll screw it up in two, tops.  Why not get the job done now?  If we had a leader with the testicular fortitude to create a budget that balanced out in five years, I would support that whole heartedly. Think about all of the ridiculous waste you hear about every day. Obamacare would be the first thing on the chopping block. He lied about every aspect of it, and morons and the msm allow him to keep repeating those lies without calling him on it.
Every year, there are reports of all of the government waste.  How about if we start there?  Next, eliminate every dime of foreign aid to places that do not like us.  After that, tell the handful that we are still helping to get ready, because in five years, the gravy train stops.
Eliminate the black hole of money that we waste on the USPS. Privatize the group, I bet it could actually make a profit it they knew that the government teat was no longer going to cushion them.
Bring our troops home, park them on our borders.  If we stopped propping up governments that don't want us there, we might save a trillion or two. Bring every military person out of Germany. Why do you think they are so well off? Because much like Joe Biden charging the secret service detail rent for staying in the house next to him and keeping him safe, Germany charges us to stay there and keep them safe.  Let them know that they are on their own, but if something pops off, be prepared to go in, clean up the problem, and then come home. Simple, huh?
Do the same with every base we have in every country that we support through this military welfare.  The only exception that I would make would be for Israel.  In spite of B.O. they have stood beside us through thick and thin.
De solve the Department of Education. It is useless, and only a clearing house for union graft and stupidity. Thank you Jimmy Carter.
Allow a line by line analysis of the pork in the budget. Remove it.  I know that Harry Reid and many Republicans as well, will have a problem with the stoppage of the gravy train, but our Government is too big, too expensive, too intrusive.
Instead of budgeting so that an increase is factored in, like baseline budgets do, cut programs. Budget so that there are no increases. Budget so that there are decreases. Budget like it was your own money.  You'll thank me later.
