Completely nuts

So state spending is bad. Apart from the military. Oh, and roads - you still need those right? What about airports?

Or education? Necessary? Or should it be reserved only for those willing to pay for private schools? It's like that in Brazil. Gangs of street kids roam around the major cities, sometimes being exterminated by police death squads. Not like in the namby-pamby, left-wing US.

Or pensions? Maybe those pensioners should be told to get off their asses and be a bit more enterprising, rather thanm suckling at the federal teet. After all, pension payments were three-times welfare in the last budget.

Which of these things would you cut back on?
