Social Security is an easy fix...
(1) raise the age at which you can collect (no choice, has to be done)
(2) make it means-tested. super rich folks would get less or nothing. I don't htink that's fair, but the fact is the $$ ain't there.
(3) allow for privatization, and invest some of that money in vehicle sthat will get better returns than t-bills.
Medicare - Go after frauds very diligently; enact serious tort reform, which does away wirth frivolous lawsuits, and doesn't force doctors to run unnecessary tests as a measure of "defensive medicine"..
Welfare - do what Clinton did, tell some of 'em to get back to work. And no one gets a check for doing NOTHING, make 'em all do some work for someone, or make them go back to school or learn a trade.
Get rid of the NEA. Fat cats on Park Avenue can pay full price for their opera tickets, they don't need subsidies from us.
That's a start.
