Negotiate a Debt Settlement

Should America cut our governmental cabinets in order to eliminate debt?

These persons are not reflecting the needs of this country. They refuse to address issues that are relevant to the changes America has had to endure. They coddle the rich and neglect the poor. They sustain a lifestyle that is unrealistic to the needs of Americans...What do you feel your government needs to change? How many families could profit from the excessive expense accounts and travel expenses like pelosis plane to all the limos. Could that money make a difference in a Aids program for the children in Washington DC? We need representation that is significant to change. What do you feel about the wasteful spending and dodging of important and relevant issues by our government?

1. Simple answer: Yes
2. So what you're really saying is you want to change the cabinet members, not remove the system. Would we really be better off with no cabinet? Its purpose is to try to balance the power so we can avoid a tyranical dictatorship.
3. No.
4. wait wait are you blaming the gov over the fact stupid welfare people don't pay there debt aww did you try to buy a house you could not afford I could care less I hope they do take it
5. No, we should cut them to reflect what the Constitution says is the proper role of government. It our politicians followed the Constitution, we would not be in debt. There would be no inflation (there would be no Federal Reserve). Government would stop trying to disarm the American people. And we would only go to war when we are attacked, and even then, with a Declaration of War by the Congress.
6. The Cabinets are fine. They are there to advise the President on a variety of subjects and keep him appraised of situations, information and possible plans of action. It is the Congress that is worthless. I think each states should pay for their Senators, Congressman and their staffs and all their operating expenses to include office, travel and food. Each Representative should, at the end of each year, have to submit a detailed expense report to his or her state along with a voting and legislative record.
7. Our whole system of government needs to be overhauled. But it will never happen.
8. Any cut in government spending is a good idea... Most particularly in cutting the staff of the buracracy... The backbone of this country is getting the shaft... We definitely need to reduce the size of our government and all of it's nonsensical ideas of re-distributing wealth... We also need to deregulate certain industries like the oil industry so we can go on the global market. It would be like an adrenaline shot to our economy. Plus the price of gas would go down for us. Once we get the economy humming we can begin a manhattan style project to revamp our infrastructure to work with non-fossil fuel type resources. Let's face it, even though oil is demonized way past the point of the harm it may cause, it is just way too difficult to deal with. If we end our dependence on foreign oil in the short term and all oil in the long term we will not only stop funding terrorism through our foreign oil cunsumption but we will put all the treehuggers at ease in the long run. It starts from the top down tho, and unfortunately I can't see tany of these happening in the next four years since all of the candidates that have a shot are pandering in some way shape or form to socialistic thinking. McCain happens to be doing the least of it but he buys into some of what the liberal left preaches. Time will tell. Big Government = Big Problems
