I agree that there are wasteful, fraudulent, and abused government programs that need to be scrutinized.
I agree that the government is inefficient
I have no problem with budget cuts
My problem is with irresponsible cuts
If you preach a philosophy that the private sector can provide better services for the people than the government can,
shouldn't you make sure those private services are truly in place and viable before you cut a government program?
Isn't it your responsibility to advertise these private services to the people as a better alternative so they don't feel like the rug has been snatched?
Wouldn't it be better to turn the program over to a private non-profit instead of just getting rid of it?
Now, I know there is a section of the country that doesn't give a shit.
Cut the budget at all costs.
If it doesn't benefit me, get rid of it, let them fend for themselves.
If this is the true philosophy of the budget cutters, then they need to announce it and stick by it.
Do not lie to the people saying you are doing something that will ultimately benefit them, when you ultimately don't care.

Responsible budget cuts are not contracting
It is not government paying a contractor to do work
That leads to fraud waste and abuse
It is not just cutting funding
or completely cutting a program
It's not assuming that charities churches and non profits will take up the slack
It's calling out to private groups
Determining if they can support all clients and services
And ensuring that they can provide better services
Long term business plan
