Great idea. All States.

OK. I'm ready to throw in with you guys and see how it works out. Let's cut SS by 50% starting Monday. Medicare $5k annual deductible. All soldiers start coming home tomorrow. Cut vet funding in half. Sell the city parks to developers, and the beaches to private companies. Cut police and fire 50%, lay them off, with 50% of all other government workers.

Lets "get to work".

I second your proposal.

50% might be a bit much. Plus you mention layoffs.

Why not roll back compensation to a bit above pre bubble levels, like your house value? Using it as a free market example.
