I think a huge priority of any future conservative government, assuming we ever have one, should be to divest the federal government of all land ownership. The federal government should have a very narrow charter.
As an aside, FDR fought all of world war 2 with a White House staff of roughly 500. No faxes, cell phones, email, etc. The average WH staff during Clinton’s years was 3,300. Yet people who had to deal with it said they could never get anything done. With modern technology we should need 10% of the present number of government employees.
There will not be a conservative government in DC ever again. The government is not really made up of people elected from podunk districts in Ms, and Mi. For ever US Rep there are a zillion bureaucrats, technocrats, lobbyists, and whatever else. They are in power, they are not conservative, they will not allow conservatism, they have no reason to listen to us, are not afraid of us, and they will not allow elections to remove them from power. They’re redistributing American’s wealth as we speak; building allies. We need to be realistic and understand what we’re up against.
