States pay taxes to the federal government for one. Tarriffs and proper excise taxing of corporation would also bring in alot. No loop holes to crawl through for businesses and Corporations, just a flat tax across the board. That would handle the basic federal government infrastructure.
I personally don’t see the space program doing much anymore. Privatize it.
States can do their own roads and highways and roads.
Our social programs can be shuttled down to the state levels too. A state can choose to be a welfare state or a right to work state. Depends on how they wanna tax out of staters and state citizens.
Since you are worried about the nukes in Pakistan send in the troops to collect them and then leave.
The only reason you won the election is because there are/were a bunch of GOP fed up with Bush. I was fed up with him. Still I had an idea that the Dems would get Congress so I voted Republican to try for some balance in our government. Instead the stupid Repulifuckians threw everything out of whack by voting for the dumbacrats. Now we got the same shit different president. What has B.O. done any better than Bush? Oh, I forgot. He has spent more in 2 months than Bush did in his 8 yrs, including the extra war funding. On top of that he has kept a shit load of bushs signing statements, execative privledges and programs intact. WOW, big changes for America. He is sinking our great great grand children. Hell, we get rid of a dictater and get a socialist commie.
By the way, I am not affiliated with the GOP or dem in any way. GOP and Dems suck.
