Hey, GOP, here’s how to cut spending

Republicans — want to reduce government spending? If you or any members of your family are drawing Social Security payments, stop them. If you or any member of your family is availing themselves of Medicare benefits, opt out.

If you or any member of your family is drawing any other government (federal, state, local) benefits, cancel the program(s). If you or any member of your family is serving in the military, receiving veteran’s benefits or other military financial assistance, resign/don’t re-up.

If you or any member of your family is receiving any form of subsidy, cancel it.

These pure party actions may not save us much money to begin with, but think of the broader ramifications. These brave moves by millions could save the nation billions. Be true to your principles. Save America from financial ruin. Do it now.
