5. Eliminate ALL corporate welfare except where incentives can be justified (e.g. promoting green energy initiatives)

7. Immediately terminate all pensions and health care programs for members of Congress, the Executive branch and the Judiciary. These are to be replaced with Medicare/Obamacare and Social Security
