A way to deal with the Haredi danger
As extreme as it is, in the long run the Haredim are an existential threat to the State of Israel. When you have a 30 percent public that does not work and does not learn useful things, then you automatically will not have an army, and even if you do, it will have to take money from other places, and that will simply be a catastrophe. We will become a Jewish Iran. The question is, apart from trying to convince the fools that this is not the way of the Torah and that this is not a humane way at all. Do you think there are active steps that can be taken so that they stop being a threat to us?

I didn't really understand, at the end of the day the main part of the money they receive is not in the 700 shekel voucher for the avrech or 400 shekels to choose a yeshiva, but in health, education, and security. And in my opinion, there are too many rules, namely, you can't say and make a law that Haredim will not be entitled to health or security (even though they deserve it for their evasion).
There is no problem doing this. Daycare for children of Abrechim. Funding for kollel and yeshivas. Property tax discounts. And on and on. This is a lot of money that reinforces parasitism and ultra-Orthodox evasion. When this is over, the matter will be resolved.
I agree with everything. Just to be precise:
The Haredim are about 12% not 30% and about half of them work.
Considering other reasons, they are still an existential threat, but a little more subtle.
Maybe you can't eradicate the ideology, but at least you can stop encouraging it.
