How to save money for the states and federal government. Start with California.
This may sound like a difficult task, but in the long run it really isn’t. We look at all of the waste and fraud in Welfare programs. States say it’s all the programs that are federally funded or mandated. California as an example.
Right now, California spends about 150 billion on all the programs that are federally funded and mandated. Turn those over to the federal government and absorbed into existing departments. California now has $150 billion more dollars a year. Now let’s go over to the federal side.
Of the 150 billion California spends, 50 billion is salary, rent, employee benefits, etc. The feds would not have that cost and would only need to spend in California about 100 billion. So, the feds save 50 billion a year on just one state.
