Federal Spending Cuts

E-mail to Rep. Neugebauer:

Randy,

I have been previously too nonspecific in my suggestion of eliminating our federal overspending through radical spending cuts.

In the following, I apologize for not having the figures of how much the overspending can be reduced, but I'm sure that these figures are available to you. Consider the following:

Eliminate the Department of Energy. It has done nothing since its inception except to inhibit production of indigenous sources of energy, particularly oil.

Eliminate the Department of Education. It is a super drain of funds to public schools, which then obligates schools to abide by the socialistic teachings of the Administration.

Eliminate half of the Department of Interior. The section that must be eliminated is that related to restrictions on indigent energy production.

Eliminate half of the EPA. Start with the section which has been using climate change to support Pres. Obama's program on Cap & Trade for CO2.

Eliminate most of the National Science Foundation (NSF). It dumps large amounts of money on university research projects of insignificant value and support of destructive political agendas.

Eliminate any research aspects of the Department of Health and Human Services. This function can be performed readily by private enterprise, particularly pharmaceutical companies.

Eliminate half of the Department of Homeland Security. It is a boondoggle operation, rampant with inefficiency and obvious inability to control our borders. Allow border states to do their own border control.

Some sections of the Department of Commerce can be eliminated, part
icularly those that are promoting commerce internationally. Private enterprise has this responsibility.

Reduce the Department of Labor. It is infested with union protected devices, which restrict general employment.

Reduce the Department of State. It is primarily engaged in nation building, for which we have no responsibility. The other section to be eliminated involves foreign aid and political grants.

The reduction in spending from the above is twofold. It decreases the cost of department operation, such as salaries, pensions, travel expenses, and building construction/maintenance, as well as reducing the funds which these organizations dole out to others.
