F.D.R. Would Have Recognized a Need for Increased Reform of Social Safety Net

The entire social safety net should be reformed so that those that use it are people that actually need to. Direct provisioning of medical care for the poor without middle-men, pay-offs to insurers or kickback layers of electronic paper-shuffling bureaucrats is the best value for real monetary payment.

Social security should be limited to those with incomes less than the average worker's annual wage. If only 50% of present recipients received social security, social security taxes could be cut 50%.

If a public medical service for poor people were created, then only sick poor people would need to use it--and they would require no insurance. Veterans hospitals could be enlarged to treat the nation's poor.

The U.S. Defense Department should be cut by 25%. The Army should be reduced to a half million, the Marines by 50%, and a new 200,000 man special forces black op force created to respond quickly to emergency abroad.

A new National Guard war powers act should be created. The National Guard could not be deployed more than six months abroad without a congressional Declaration of War, or without permission of the state's governor. The National Guard would remain a significant ready reserve force.

There are other real eco-politik cuts to government that would reform it to a non-deficit producing fact. If people in government are stupid, corrupt or don't care about the poor they will produce bad politics. Some human beings existentially seek to prosper themselves--a philosophy of personal egoism--without regard to the overall concatenated public economic deficit. When that occurs too much society collapses. Government itself may be predatory broadcast bureaucrats oppressing individuals or groups. Corporations may become de facto collectives bashing around democratic taxpayers in a variety of flumery schemes and institutional structures of advantage.

The nation has a variety of ecological and economic issues creating a bad foundation ground set to crumble from a variety of environmental and political earthquakes ahead. The Government should primarily serve the interests of U.S. economic development in such a way that national development receives most support.

Some in government feel that losing intentionally will in some way serve to redistribute wealth abroad to the foreign poor.That is just an excuse to advantage the corrupt and avoid a democratic approach to good government. The impoverishment of the United States because of plundering government malfeasance is a consequence of bad federal policy. It hasn't sufficient interest in being a good government that restores ecological vitality, works to slow down the lemming like wave of ecological corruption, assures that all Americans are on a progressive track for life time economic adequacy, respects the privacy of citizens--necessary for intelligent people to be free to develop their own economic interest and differentiate themselves from tramping broadcast jackboots of federal power.

The extremely inflated wages paid for the U.S. volunteer military has created pressure to bureaucratize it and inflate its numbers with women and gays in this era where general conflagrations are not expected--that is a dangerous course if history is considered--it is also expensive and leads to perversive troop deployments abroad.

Few Americans really want to encounter large numbers of female casualties of war, and as p.o.w.s they would soon become pregnant--so would need to be chemically sterilized before going on active duty in areas with potential for conflict--such long term reversible sterilization may not be a medically feasable course.

The U.S. Defense Department should be cut by 25%. The Army should be reduced to a half million, the Marines by 50%, and a new 200,000 man special forces black op force created to respond quickly to emergency abroad.

A new National Guard war powers act should be created. The National Guard could not be deployed more than six months abroad without a congressional Declaration of War, or without permission of the state's governor. The National Guard would remain a significant ready reserve force.

A special armed nation reconstruction corps of 50,000 might be created to augment ineffective federal administration planning in politics that require the United States to reconstruct foreign governments they have destroyed, perhaps in quest of oil or commando teams of box-cutter wielding terrorists. Three trillion dollars to try to capture and hang by the neck 30 or 40 terrorists of Al Qa'eda isn't a cost effect strategy that does no harm to the United States.
