John Buckley on Welfare & Poverty

	John Buckley on Welfare & Poverty

Eliminate DOE, HUD, HHS, NPR, FAA, and more

I support balanced budgets--at a grossly reduced level of spending; the elimination of such federal agencies as the Departments of Education, Housing and Urban Development, and Health and Human Services (and significant budget cuts in all other federal departments); and the privatization of such unnecessary government services as passenger rail (e.g., Amtrak), National Public Radio, coastal flood insurance, and even air traffic control. I will not vote for deficit spending, any increase in the debt ceiling, or any increase in federal spending.

Cutting back federal spending will enable significant tax reduction and tax reform. It will unleash the American economy to create jobs and leave money in the pockets of citizens to spend according to their individual needs and priorities.
