12,000 Government Properties That Can Be Sold Immediately
On the heels of economist Bob Murphy's call for the government to sell assets rather than raise the debt ceiling, Business Insider, produces a map displaying the locations of 12,000 government properties that are unoccupied.
I pointed to this link in another post last week, but Business Insider didn't have to go very far to get this map. It's available on the White House website:
Why bother wasting time and energy debating WHAT to cut; cut EVERYTHING across the board, 20% immediately. No layoffs, just pay cuts, no reduced work hours, no working overtime to make up the difference: pay cuts. Existing contract for $100,000,000? That's now a contract for $80,000,000 - reduce project scope to fit the new budget.
Next year, do it again.
Raise taxes? Yes, most Americans will gladly pay more in taxes in order to prevent total collapse of the currency. Raise the SS tax so the system is robust - it is the only retirement 75% of Americans will have.
GET IT DONE NOW AND STOP BICKERING AND FARTING AROUND! YOU! OWNER OF THIS WEBSITE, START PREACHING THIS PLAN - THERE IS NO OTHER THAT WILL WORK. GET IT DONE!
it seems strange that the government would sell properties. Like, first they took money from us to build all this stuff. now they want to take more money in order to give it back? what do you think?
