I'm totally with you on eliminating all ag subsidies and corporate and industry welfare.
Don't know what the DC Scholarship program is.
I don't think Social Security for the rich is a problem (for reasons I've outlined elsewhere). And I have no idea what kind of savings would be gotten from cutting Medicare from them, although it's ironic that the rest of us are supposed to be in a cradle-to-grave health network at the same time as we undermine the geriatric health network.
As for Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, the damage is already done... it probably doesn't matter much at this point, but sure, can them.
DC Scholarship program: the Federal government pays the difference between out-of-state and in-state tuition at any public school in the country, allowing DC residents to get into any school at the in-state price.
So Washington believes in school choice for college students, but not (generally) for grade-schoolers.
