$100 - Solve All Our Problems

You are a political candidate in a debate. I am giving you $100 to divide amongst a few key issues. Without a bunch of rhetoric and/or complaining, take the $100 and divide it up as you see fit. Yes it's black and white and many intangibles are missing, but for the common voter, it will give a nice, broad idea to see where you stand on certain issues. Just divide the money up as you see fit. Simple!

1. Health Care
2. Military/Defense Programs
3. Social Programs
4. Environmental Issues
5. International Policy
6. Privatization
7. Education

Edit: Forgot education, me so smrt.

Great idea for a topic.

I'm a Libertarian when it comes to economics, so i'm pretty far to the right. The freer the market, the freer the people. I'm not sure what you mean with "Privatization" and "International Policy". International policy = financial aid? Privatization = subsidies? Just a guess..

Alright, here we go:

1. Health Care - $0
2. Military/Defense Programs - $90
3. Social Programs - $0
4. Environmental Issues - $10
5. International Policy - $0
6. Privatization - $0
7. Education - $0

Everything with $0 will be run in the private sector. The government's only duty is to uphold the rights of it's citizens - meaning proper law enforcement/military, and making sure companies are held to pollution regulations. Remember that the 90% towards military and law enforcement is actually much lower in value than 90% would be today. Ideally, there wouldn't even be an income tax, just a higher sales tax. The military would funded less than it is currently, because of much lower taxing.

Nos.

1. Health Care - $0
2. Military/Defense Programs - $20
3. Social Programs - $0
4. Environmental Issues - $10
5. International Policy - $10
6. Privatization - $60
7. Education - $0

Cancel all government social programs. Use your extra tax dollars to open more golf courses and steakhouses.

1. Health Care - $30
2. Military/Defense Programs - $5
3. Social Programs - $15
4. Environmental Issues - $15
5. International Policy - $10
6. Privatization - $0
7. Education - $25

Just to put a small barrier in between Nos. and Mattboys answers and the next persons.

Yeah, we're CRAZY. :D

(Spectra, read the top of my post - what are those two items on the list, specifically?)

Nos.

International Policy - Aiding foreign countries, putting money into countries you are helping rebuild after war or just for economical gains.

Privatization - More like a percentage of how much you support privatization. How much you would take from other areas to support this aspect.

By the way, do you think I am radical or crazy? Or maybe just misled and uninformed? Honest question.

So privatization is just a category for subsidies, i suppose. Subsidies are what have gotten us into this spending mess in the beginning! $0!

And no, i don't think you're crazy, i was talking about me and mattboy :D

Nos.

I know you meant you and Mattboy. What I meant was that I was going to break up the right wing stuff with my hippy left winger ideas before another righty followed suit.

1. Health Care - $0
2. Military/Defense Programs - $0
3. Social Programs - $0
4. Environmental Issues - $0
5. International Policy - $0
6. Privatization - $0
7. Education - $0
8. Free Porn and Alcohol for Everyone - $70000000

You guys can run the country, and I'll help keep it sane.
