I don't know. Maybe I'm the grammar and usage police, but I cracked up laughing when I got to:

things like the IRS, the Departments of Energy and Education or rein in rouge agencies like the EPA and the NLRB

Those are certainly socialist/communist red agencies, but I've never heard them referred to as "Rouge" before.

Oh, and I'm not for reigning in the EPA and NLRB. Those are also on the elimination list on my wish list.

Eliminating all federal funding to local governments (regulatory, environmental, HUD, public ed., extraneous police funding, social work, etc.) would solve the problem and leave enough federal government intact.

That has to be accomplished locally.

In my state, our city council, county commission and all state officials also swear an oath that includes upholding and protecting the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of our State.

We (my local TEA Party patriots and 9-12ers) actually go to our county commission and school board meetings and ask our commissioners and board members, "Where in Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution did We the People give Congress the power to tax us at the federal level for (education, parks, local roads and projects)? How are you following your oath of office accepting (or worse, requesting) "federal grant money?"

I had written:
"Eliminating all federal funding to local governments..."

I disagree. The bills allowing for federal funding to local governments were passed in bipartisan Congress and signed by U.S. presidents. They'll be repealed at the federal level, or we'll starve your local government offices into closing.

Obviously, local government socialists haven't noticed, but we're not buying. We're going to buy less each year, until we see freedom. This country needs new competition and new families in business, politics and academia. We're going to get that.

Sorry...we'll starve our local government offices into closing. I'm in a majority Republican county, and it's officers and employees are quite dishonest, socialist and disrespectful against all that is good and old fashioned. ...came from another majority Republican county back east, and it was the same: anti-family, sadistic, scoffing, anti-production, anti-competition and sexually confused. Politicians are generally controlled by robber-constituents, rich from stolen debt.

The answer is not in politics but in rejecting politics. It's not in trying to produce for thieves but in becoming self-sufficient and cutting off their venues of thievery.
