6. My austerity plan
(1) No more limousines. Put them up on blocks and use them for homeless shelters. Sell the tires at second hand stores.
(2) No sales of jet fuel to private, non-commercial aircraft. The fuel saved will be diverted to LIHEAP.
(3) No more golf courses. Plow them up and convert them to Community Supported Agriculture.
(4) All hotels to cut back to 2 star amenities. Five star hotels will still charge the same price, but the difference will be paid into a fund to provide health care to hospitality workers.
(5) No more "all-you-can-eat" buffets. You get one plate, one trip. You will, however, get to have company, because the kids in the local school lunch program will be in line with you.
(6) No more gates on communities. They will be replaced with toll booths, $50 for each vehicle, each pass.
(7) No more millionaires to watch playing baseball, football, basketball, acting in movies, hosting TV shows, or blabbing on talk radio. The top tax rate goes back up to 91% until the debt the Republicans are worried about is paid off.
