Some government funded programs certainly have waste, but many have a positive impact on the lives of people we meet every day.

Bad teacher? Shut down the schools.
Drunk person at the park? Close it.
"That one guy I saw" bought lobster with his EBT Card, let all the keiki go hungry.
Overruns on a military project? Close Pearl Harbor, Hickam, Schofield, Bellows, Pohakuloa... (and all the businesses that provide support services and cater to soldiers when they are off duty)
