We may reduce the cost of our federal government by reducing the number of excecutive departments by attrition, that is, when government employees leave they are not replaced. This may be done untill our federal government is reduced to serve our (its citizens) needs and to cost what we can and want to afford. Of course, all this must be done by obtaining the voters consensus.
Do you think this is a good idea?
the sequester resulted in me being kicked me out on my ass when my boss lost his grant. for that and other reasons, i don't support shrinking the public sector. i definitely support reprioritization, though. for example, we should not be wasting money on Middle Eastern wars.
The government can provide the same services with a lot less people than it currently has.
Anybody agrees?
That is what I mean by attrition. Nobody looses their job. We just do not replace them when they leave the government. Nobody gets fired.Maybe. But why? What are all of those people going to do for a living? The private sector can't supply nearly enough jobs for everybody as it is.

Helix,
That is the biggest problem that a government reduction faces: How to maintain the same services.
My solution is to maintain the same services, but provide the services with less people and less bureaucracy.
To do that we simply do not replace a government employee when she or he leaves for whatever reason. So nobody looses itheir job and we pay less taxes.
Is there anyone who likes to give their earned money to the government?

Way too vague a plan for me to support or oppose, although I'm not inclined to support already.
How would Pell grants and student loans be administered? How would grants to public schools serving low-income and special needs children be funded and administered? How would civil rights laws related to education such as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and Title IX of the Education Act of 1972 be enforced? How would national statistics on education be collected?

Do you want to pay more taxes?
yesDo you pay taxes at all?
less services.What is rhe problem with paying less taxes?
yes.Is it too vague to keep more money in your pocket? Instead of letting the government take it from you?
Thinker,You can diligently seek out waste, fraud and abuse and tackle it by cutting it. This can be done across all departments, especially the military.
That is what I am proposing:maybe, depending upon what they're using them to fund
yes
less services.
yes.

Pell grants and student loans can be paid with less government employees.
How do you use "National statistics on education? Does that help your child to learn more? Does it help youl child to get better grades? Does it help you to educate your child any better?
