So what are your suggestions to slow down and/or end the deficit?

Balance the budget in five years.

Since the increase in the national debt is around $2.5 trillion per year, reduce it by $500 billion per year for five years. It would have to be a combination of more revenue and less spending.

Who is going to "make abled body people work..."? How? The Chinese model comes to mind.

My father filled that role for his six children, as I did for my two children.

I recently asked my 58 year old son how I taught him the work ethic. He said when he turned 16, I told him to get a job!

(2Th 3:10 KJV) For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.

"...not get government handouts...". Should they get "church" handouts? One of the hallmark ministries of many religious organizations is feeding the hungry. Is this in keeping with 2Th 3:10? I think not.
