Default To Cut Deficits, It's Best To Pick Low-Lying Fruit

From the brilliant T Sowell:

Quote:
My plan would start by cutting off all government transfer payments to billionaires. Many, if not most, people are probably unaware that the government is handing out the taxpayers' money to billionaires. But agricultural subsidies go to a number of billionaires. Very little goes to the ordinary farmer.

Big corporations also get big bucks from the government, not only in agricultural subsidies but also in the name of "green" policies, in the name of "alternative energy" policies, and in the name of whatever else will rationalize shoveling the taxpayers' money out the door to whomever the administration designates, for its own political reasons.

Very right in his assessment. The pubbies should make this the cost of voting to raise the deficit. are Obama to veto it.

Have always advocated for taking a hard look at Agricultural Subsidies, didjaknow that Michelle Bachman and her family benefit from these government handouts??????

Maybe Michellle should be called a "Welfare Queen"???
