Dear Mr. President

The current crisis in America has devastated to American people. We need leaders, in which not one of our political figures are stepping up. You need budget cuts..Allow me to share my views 1.GOVERNMENT POLITICAL OFFICIALS PAY: I believer if the senators,governors,mayors,president,Etc. use tax payers dollars to go on cruises, family vacations, house mistresses,etc they should be fined for the cost of the money spent and 10% of their annual pay. Why should we pay for their fun? I surely do not get a free vacation every year, why should gov. officials? Also if the government politicians do not finished their required workload (I.E. BUDGET CUTS) they should be fined or not paid until the workload has been filled. The American people have to work to get paid, why shouldn't gov officials be the same way? 2.WELFARE/FOOD STAMPS/WIC: I believe there should be a set max pay out for families. Say the government will provide aid to families up to three kids. Why should the tax payers work to support lazy people. More than that, why should we be punished for others irresponsibility? If they could not support one child, why did they have another? Why send the message "we will help you be lazy and irresponsible"?I believe the government could set up daycare aid for up to three children so the parents could work to get off welfare. Set a regulation that if the person(s) on welfare are able to work, they must do so, or provide proof of why they cannot (I.E. Disabled). 3.MEDICARE/MEDICAID:I believe these programs are great but you could charge $5 per person or $15 for a family of four and $3 per child after. Also, If the person receiving Medicare/Medicaid smokes or heavily drinks there should be an added fee. Why help someone be healthy when they don't care about their health in the first place?Also, there should be a set fee for every medical, dental, optometry,etc. procedure. This will ensure fair pricing and make sure the doctors are not over billing the government. So if eye exams are set at $98 then there will be no doctor pocketing $125 bucks because they over billed the government funded insurance. This will also make medical treatments affordable, so maybe everyone will have the chance to have good health. 4.CORPORATIONS OUTSOURCING AND HIRING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS: Fines, Fines, and More FINES...Why not supply the jobs to Americans who are starving and need the income? People will argue this point and say Americans do not want these jobs, but I am sure if you go to a homeless shelter and ask someone if they would like to earn some money they will jump on the opportunity. If a corporation outsources the jobs to another country they should give 5% of their earnings in outsourcing fees. 5. IMPORTS AND EXPORTS: We need to rely on our hard working Americans more than what we have in the past. Every fruit, veggie, or other items you can think of say "grown in Mexico" or "Product of Japan". What about our farmers? They deserve the job first, I much rather have something fresh from joe smoe in Utah, than something that has crossed borders and gotten god knows what on it. I do understand that our country cannot have everything but a good bit of it can be produced here in America. 6.TAXES: I believe there should be a set tax for all. Whether you make 5 thousand or 5 million. This would allow for no fuss over who pays more or who pays less, we all pay the same percentage. There should be fees for those who store money in offshore bank accounts, and if they are storing it to evade taxes then the money should be taken and put in the governments funding. Immigrants should also pay taxes whether they are citizens or not. This is America, If they don't like it then they can go home. We also should stop paying for people to come to our country... we have enough people willing to come, why pay someone? 7.ABORTION CLINICS: Abortion is a voluntary procedure, so it should be up to the person getting the procedure to pay.....no medicare/medicaid assistance. The taxpayers should, once again, not reward irresponsibility. There are other ways. 8.GOVERNMENT IRRESPONSIBLE SPENDING: In one month the white house spent ONE BILLION dollars on disposable coffee cups, coffee, and donuts. Why are we paying for that again? Its a persons responsibility to take care of themselves, not the taxpayers. Everyone in the white-house gets a paycheck, they can pay for their own coffee and donuts. A billion dollars could have fed homeless people for months, let me guess you threw out the extras? How about having a video-chat meeting instead of paying for each person to come to the white house? Then holding a real meeting every quarter/ twice a year just to make sure everyone is on track. Not using Air force one could save our country a good bit of money. Does the president really need to fly that often anyways? I am sure there is nothing so serious, that it cant be held over the phone, or video conference. These are just a few spending issues in the white house, I am sure you can find more cuts. We as the American people have a voice and we have the right to be heard. We should have a vote as to what laws are passed, What organizations funding are cut, and what bills are going to be passed. Our governors, senators, and all other political figures are only looking out for themselves, not what is best for the American people. Put the issues in our hands and I guarantee wee will have an answer before any of our leaders will.
