- Hiring freeze
- Cut cabinet and comittee's .1 billion
- invite private partnership/competition into infrastructure development 1 billion (could easily be more)
Most of this is taken right from the 2010 budget documents. It certainly is in the realm of reality to cut 25% of the budget. It would take some pain and asking public employees to contribute back to the taxpayer, but it could be done. |
I know this was posted a while back, but it takes a while to catch up sometimes, (seniors thing, ya know
) but I thought this was an interesting read
