We can easily save over $800 billion a year from the corporate welfare system of the warfare corporations and institutions.

The base defense budget is about $500 billion but added to that is the unnecessary budget busting wars, the vast nuclear armaments program, the veterans budget, the interest on the debt related to previous wars and other security programs which amount to between $1.03 and $1.415 trillion dollars A YEAR.

Ref : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_budget_of_the_United_States

If the US government gives up its empire, we can definitely save over $800 billion a year by limiting the defense budget to purely defense following the policies of Switzerland.

If our government follows the defense policies of Switzerland, we should have a defense budget of no more than about $50 billion a year ( much more than what Russia spends on defense per year)

plus another $50 billion a year to police the world, co-opt all dictators and Ayatollahs by putting them on the CIA payroll in order for them to to our bidding and expand the covert apprehension and rendition programs to apprehend and rehabilitate all potential terrorists and future "hitlers" for a total defense budget of no more than $100 billion a year, far more than what China and Russia spend on defense.

The savings of $800 billion a year ( from the military/industrial complex ) can take place in the sixth year of the following steps that would balance the budget in the sixth year.


The following steps need to be taken to solve the problem of the $14 trillion dollar debt crisis which is projected to hit about $21 Trillion in about 10 years:

(1)Tell everybody who benefits from government programs that they have five years to adjust to the fact that their program will be cut according to the formula established at the beginning of the 6th year. During this five year period, all those benefiting from government programs will be given zero percent interest rate loans for their schooling to retrain themselves or to refit their factories to adjust to the new austerity environment.


During the transitional five years, all Americans will receive according to their financial situation, a monthly government check paid directly into their health savings account which can only be withdrawn to pay for health care insurance policies and after the austerity program kicks in during the sixth year, the government will keep paying the checks according to a balanced budget program but all payments will be into health savings accounts for the sole purposes of buying health insurance.

If Americans go for regular free health check ups and if they pass their health examinations, then the government will pay them directly a portion of the savings due to them taking care of their health by staying fit.

Government will also subsidize gym fees and the cultivation of organic fruits and vegetables so that Americans can afford to go to the gym and eat cheaper organic fruits and vegetables to stay healthy in order to get the bonus checks from the government when they pass their free health exams.



(2) Figure the interest on the debt at the end of the fifth year and deduct that amount from the revenues generated by the government during the fifth year

(3) Deduct another billion from the revenues generated by the government during the end of the fifth year

(4) What is left of the revenue during the fifth year after the above deductions will go towards all government programs in the sixth year in proportion to what they were getting in the fifth year.

IN THE SIXTH YEAR, THE MILITARY/INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX BUDGET WILL BE SLASHED BY $800 BILLION (AT LEAST) A YEAR AND THE TOTAL MILITARY BUDGET CANNOT EXCEED $100 BILLION A YEAR PLUS AN INCREASE IS ALLOWED FOR THE INFLATION RATE.

If the above is followed, the debt will not rise and the principal will be slowly paid off by a billion a year. The debt will take thousands of years to be paid off since only a billion is taken off the debt every year, but at least we will not have a crisis at hand in the next decade or so.

During the 6th through the 10 th year, the above steps will be followed and then in the 11th year, intelligent leaders will have to decide whether some programs will have to be reduced further or eliminated altogether in order to release funds to programs that really work and are beneficial to our citizens

Example of a good program that is experiencing cuts but should be expanded :

The Average Value of an NCI Grant Fell 22 Percent over the decade, meaning the government is not funding all potential leads into curing cancer and while over a million Americans die from cancer every two years and the government is cutting cancer research funding over the decade, at the same time, the government is greatly expanding the corporate welfare programs of the warfare institutions and corporations by trillions of dollars over the decade with the excuse that 3000 Americans died on 9/11/01
