THIS IDEA IS LINKED TO ANOTHER: FOR THE REFORM OF AMERICAN MILITARY PROCEDURES THROUGH THE STRENGTHENING OF ARTICLE I, SECTION 8 OF THE U.S. CONSTITUTION, WHICH ASSIGNS SOLES OWNERSHIP OF ANY AND ALL WAR POWERS TO THE DELIBERATION AND VOTE OF CONGRESS:

In order to find the necessary funding for these great ideas, here on Egora -- to balance the budget and create a more manageable rate of debt increase -- we must look at the three primary sources of U.S. Government expenditure: Social Security, Medicare, and The Military.

I've already proposed a means to decrease Federal Military Spending through a strengthening of Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution, with which we are almost in accordance. This could free up more funds, especially those for programs with a competitive rate of expected economic return.

I don't offer ideas which could best be awarded these newly available funds. I would just like to address a simpler, much bigger concern:

Should Social Security or Medicare, which both exceed Military spending, be adjusted, or done away with, in the process? Should we prevent those against Public Option Healthcare from becoming freely insured by the government? Should we prevent Conservative thought-havers and pundits from receiving aid, when at last they face the reasons for it, firsthand?

Ayn Rand was on Social Security, Medicare and Welfare when she died. Should we have reserved for her final lesson, the one she should've known all along? Is being reactionary a good excuse for being a hypocrite? Should they be allowed to deny their own fallibility, deny others the justification for theirs, just to submit a claim later on, to support their entire world after having just denied everyone in it, entirely?

Should we show these people homelessness, depression, and inevitably addiction? Death waits for no man, and I don't wait on death -- to teach the lessons we need right now.
