What too much
government looks like Those who do not know history and
learn from it are doomed to repeat it.
Below are more jobs for a
competitive Private Sector 1.
If the private sector can perform any service or function, then
government should be forbidden from entering that market place. Let the
private sector do the jobs. If the states can perform a service, then the
Federal Government should not be doing it. Put an end to duplicated policing.
The Federal Government should be restricted to doing the following: first
only things called for and allowed in the U.S. Constitution, second only the
things that the Federal Government can do. Just because the Federal
Government can do something does not mean it should. 2.
I would like to take every possible opportunity to reduce the size and
scope of the Federal government. Return the Federal government back in line
with the original constitutionally defined, enumerated and limited
powers. I believe we should be
seriously scrutinizing all branches of the Federal government to look for
opportunities to close down the federal intrusion into what should be private
or state control. 3.
Government contracts should be competitively bid but not subject to the
GS pay scale requirements. Let the
private contractors bid and pay based on their own scales. 4.
All of Government should be required to abide by every rule and
restriction they create for citizens, no exemptions. This means all
government employees. There should
not be special government plans or programs that are not available to
ordinary citizens. Government
employees’ compensation should never exceed that of their peer private
sector’s compensation. 5.
Let’s reclaim, reaffirm and protect the rights of our individual
citizens. I believe in private
property rights. If property must be
taken from a citizen for the public good by eminent domain, he must be
compensated at 4 times its’ value. 6.
The Constitution states “all legislative powers herein granted shall be
vested in a congress.” Only
Congress can create laws. This implies that bureaucrats, judges and
executives are prohibited from creating laws. We need to spend more time at
repealing bad, unauthorized and unnecessary laws, rules, regulations and
restrictions, before making new laws. 7.
There should be no bailouts using government funds. Bankruptcy laws have methods of resolving
unsuccessful companies’ affairs. 8.
I believe in requiring the Federal Government to operate on a
zero-based budgeting plan. It should fund first the military payroll, second
social security obligations, third debt service and then only essential
government services. In budget
planning it needs to be forbidden for anyone to attempt to not pay the first
3 essential obligations. These
obligations will always be paid automatically not subject to political
whims. When available dollars have
been budgeted according to the previous plan, then unfunded programs need to
be suspended. When we get more money,
the unfunded programs can be reviewed. 9.
Obamacare must be entirely repealed.
Healthcare and insurance should be a private sector marketplace. Perhaps interstate commerce laws should be
applied so that healthcare and Insurance can be sold across state lines. What too much
