2. Recommendations to make Iowa even more free

Fiscal: Trim spending on areas where the state spends more than the national average – education, hospitals, highways, and public welfare – and use the savings to trim property, sales, income, and motor vehicle license taxes.


Here I was thinking that spending kept the state from being a hell hole.

Seriously national average on hospitals and public welfare - look at the make up of the state (a higher per capita of elderly). You know the same elderly who need hospitals and the Medicaid spending for nursing homes.

Idiots.
