Tell us where you'd like to cut spending

This is an open letter to the tea party supporters. All of those who want to slash government spending, please tell us what programs you will cut. The Bush administration cut funding for the Food and Drug Administration so there were fewer people to monitor our food and drug supply. Actually we need more - think of peanut butter and eggs for example. They also cut the EPA budget so that the polluters literally got away with murder.

I know, let's cut assistance to the poor. If they starve to death the problem will go away. Just be sure to keep lower taxes for the multimillionaires who became billionaires outsourcing American jobs. I know those billionaires are patriotic because they display American flags at headquarters buildings while figuring out how to fire even more American workers.
