text: It's past time to make cuts like this. Reduced mail rates for the Bush should be ended as well . It's totally wrong for taxpayers to pay for people to live in isolated area's that have no means to support themselves . Many of these locations should become ghost towns , as did locations in the old west.  Many of these villages have no hope for the future, have high unemployment , along with no police protection and rape and incest numbers off the charts. It's really sad parents force their kids to grow up there.  If these people want to live under third world conditions---let them pay their own way and stop expecting the feds and state to support they're way of life. In the past natives moved to area's that supported their families. Today's natives want to stay put even though there is no way to support themselves. It's time to end the handouts . Let those who choose to live off the grid fend for themselves. We can no longer afford to carry them. We must stop enabling poor choices.
