Personally I would say that I could get by fine without my tax dollars funding the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and of course the IRS (fat chance). Where do you think we are throwing away too much money, time and resources as a nation?

1. Get rid of the IRS and charge a flat tax.
2. Department of Education. Let every state delegate what is needed for their children. We don't need three layers of government to tell us what to teach our kids, because most of them are wrong!
3. Merge Defense and Home Land Security. Get rid of FEMA and have the new merged department handle everything during disasters with National Guard troops. FEMA was worthless during Katrina. Think what would happen if we were attacked or had a nuclear emergency like in Jericho on CBS.
4. Merge Navy and Coast Guard.
5. Merge Transportation with Commerce since they compliment each other.
6.Merge Defense/HLS with CIA and FBI. Have our Defense/Intell under one building so that memos about people flying planes into buildings don't get misplaced.
I have other ideas, but this should be enough for now.

Ya I just recently found out about the NEA, and I was shocked. Why is the government supporting the arts? They are already supported by the economy.

We need to quit propping up the United Nations. We fund almost 100% of the cost for this insane program! It's a huge waste of taxpayers money!

there is not this style of factor as "fiat money." you need to comprehend this in case you understood how money works. the fee of money isn't desperate by skill of utilising government regulation, or regulation. that's impossible. the fee of money is set by skill of utilising a commodity (whose fee is set by skill of utilising labor time) that serves because of the certainty the common equivalent of all commodities. whether if people decide to confess it or now no longer, the token money that exists at recent indoors the united statesdollar empire remains tied to gold. The "Emergency Banking Act" of 1933 easily has now no longer something to do with what you're asserting...it particularly is a regulation that asserts that each physique banks indoors the U. S. must be Federal Reserve-approved. which skill banks won't in any respect be waiting to accomplish outdoors the confines of the Federal Reserve equipment and its regulation. "persons," for particular, are tied to those banks, which must be tied to the federal reserve equipment, it particularly is tied to the capitalist equipment of exploitation and financial disaster. yet "collateral?" Oh spectacular. Ron Paul enthusiasts will continuously be enthusiasts. The "national financial employer company holiday" battling financial employer company runs from occurring in 1933, and extra approximately a great fee advance of shares. Ron Paul cult persons to boot the shown certainty which will merchandise to this, claiming that financial employer company runs "ought to've got here about" because of the certainty its actual capitalism, or some factor like that.

Entitlements to the car industry, including building and repairing highways. Without them, mass transit true cost would be realized and found to be much more practical than millions of cars with one person sitting in them.
