Just a thought…..

If WE THE PEOPLE, Fired every politician in Washington DC…..How much would we save? Keep in mind that we could keep the multitude of department heads in place to administer every department based on the current budget.

How Much money by firing every politician including freezing all benefits and pensions of ex-politicians….would our Country Save? Keep in mind that means no Secret Service Agents guarding them, no life long free health insurance, no perks, no nothing….

What do you think it cost in 1 Day to run the National Government for elected officials…..Firing them would mean no aids, no staff, no congressional investigations, no OVER TIME for staff during debates that are stale mate, etc…..

How much would WE THE PEOPLE, save if we just fired our leaders and start new….

placing all foreign initiatives on hold, asking those who owe us to cash in, (pray that those we owe do not ask), and turn to the American People and the American Spirit to generate its own goods and services from homeland soil.

What do you think it would take?

My name is Robert, I’m a US of A Citizen naturally born in the US of A and Proud to be an American….

What if we did not have Democrats or Republicans but only WE THE PEOPLE that vote on candidates that care, not because they belong to “our” party but because they want the best for all of us.

It’s just a thought and one, for me I want to ask…..What it would take to make this happen, for our Government to care for us, American Citizens.

Thank You,
Robert – A humble American

Interesting ideas.
I would like to see all foreign countries that owe us money PAY UP.
Also, I would like to see no more foreign aid unless countries do pay us back.
I would like to see a balanced budget.
I would like us to see that we cut spending, BIG TIME.
I would like to see politicians stop raiding Social Security for inane things.
And the list goes on.

As far as Dems and Reps, I think that we do try and vote in the best person. We are not going to knowingly vote in a jerk. Compromises have to be made in Washington all of the time in order to get things done. Allen West did recently and he was right. It takes a leader to bite his tongue and compromise.
