Dear Mr. Schaper,
I enjoyed your article on RedState [actually, Townhall.com] regarding government elimination but must admit I found it ultimately unsatisfying, perhaps because it only described the problem and only hinted and somewhat simplistically at solutions. I agree that DOGE is a minor rectification of the greater problem of deficits where Medicare and Social Security need to be addressed. While one may object as you do on philosophical grounds to the very existence of these programs I believe a more realistic approach would need to be employed in a move to a solution to the problems these programs address. I look forward to a greater elaboration of your proposed solutions. A more modest proposal I read in Redstate in regards to Social Security was to eliminate the FICA income ceiling and to mean test benefits. at the very least this would remove the myths that what one pays into the system actually funds what one takes out.
Best regards,
Trellis Smith
