Is that you taking handouts from an overspending Government? </sarcasm>
This is what the Governments of the West have to do. Sadly they often didn't. They pumped it into non profit, high maintenance projects that will always cost money. The problem is switching the system.
At the moment many countries, including the UK and US, are on life style support. They have pumped money in to the system to make it all look great and to get votes.
YOU CAN'T SIMPLY STOP THE SPENDING. It will be like a family stop spending money on food, you can't stop pumping money into a system that depends on it. Without that system collapsing. Look at Greece, UK, Italy, Spain, Portugal for the proof, yes they went too far and had to put the brakes on and now have to suffer for a long time to get their standard of living to match their income, as a country.
STOP PAYING BENEFITS AND THE SHOPS IN THE AREA STOP TAKING MONEY. Then think how much of that budget goes to Government office workers and that infrastructure. Sack those guys, empty those offices? Then they join the poor who aren't spending. So a few get taxed less and the spending is level, except for the extra police budget to keep the lid on the millions pissed off as hell. And the borrowing stays at the same level.
Cut the borrowing and all that happens is he money flowing into the US economy, no longer flows in. And that hits your joins. So you will suffer.
Stop spending on Military and workers in arms factories get laid off, soldiers get laid off. Not the type of people you want rioting.
Stop food subsidies, your weekly shopping bill goes up.
Get any more cuts you would like to debate? Go figure the consequences out first.
Most of you are looking for easy fixes and there are none.
