budget cuts

The first and foremost budget cust should be the incredibly high wages that politicians recieve. There is not one single politicisn who deserves to be paid more than the median amount of the average worker. I would say about 42,000.00. The public pays for all transportation costs, we pay for things like heating and electricity in the govenors mansion. there is no reason why the public should be paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to each politician each year. Politicians don't even have to pay for their own medical expenses. The second cut should be to carreer welfare and foodstamp family's. Unemployment should be required to be proved that reciepiants are actually looking for jobs. There is no reason for unemployment to be paid out for more than a year to anyone. People who get pregnant while on government aid should have their assistance checks reduced, not increased. And in the long run it would save a large amount of money if women were given a cash payout to be permanently sterilized, and maybe make it easier for people to adopt American children instead of breeding more and more of them. Have parents pay towards school busses or purchase RTD passes for their children. Increase the cost of school lunches so that the cost of the parents is commesurate with the cost of producing the lunches. Teachers and school staff should have to pay full price of lunches. Quit allowing children to leave campus for lunch. If parents can't afford school lunches they can always afford bologna or peanut butter. Parents with IPhone or blackberrys or IPads can trade their fancy doodads in and spring for their kids lunches. Have parents volunteer to watch kids at recess or help in the school cafeteria serving or watching the eating areas. And above all stop giving illegals American money. If their kids can't be proven American citizens don't let them in our school. If the kids are anchor babies, then the illegal parents can sign them over and head back home.

I agree, the elected Politician gets too much in the way of favorite goodies..

Yes they are away from home and should get a per-diem rate of $200 per day for housing and meals! Period end of story.
