This is exactly what Trump's VP needs to be ready, willing, and able to do when he walks into the presidency in 2024 - finish what Trump started.
The author is on the right track although he fails to hit the core legal issue - that most of the central government is unconstitutional. Most cabinet departments need to be DISMANTLED, not reinvented. To his credit he touches on the unconstitutional Administrative State regarding its "agencies" but fails to unequivocally call for the Administrative State and its suffocating and unconstitutional regulations to be dismantled.
He gets off the track later using the false term "crony capitalism" but generally he seems to be on the right track.
If Trump picks Newt for the necessary and effective purpose of assisting the management of negotiations with Congress, then I would suggest that Newt step down in four years and Trump appoint an outsider, preferably a very smart and highly motivated businessman, who in 2014 will step into the presidency ready, willing, and able to dismantle the unconstitutional 80% portion of the $4 trillion government sending hundreds of thousands of government workers, bureaucratic heads and official home packing. Say day for them, but a rebirth of freedom and rejoicing for America.
I pray God will bring about this miracle.
Shouldn't that read...."an unconstitutional obstacle that thwarts their ambitions"?
Patriots who might have missed the following note about the annual federal budget as the Founding States had probably meant for it to be understood, will probably find it disturbing.
Regarding $4 and $5 billion dollar annual federal budgets, note that a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified that Congress is prohibited from appropriating taxes in the name of state power issues, essentially any issue that Congress cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers. This is evidenced by the excerpt below.
”Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” - Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
In fact, based on the Court’s statement above, here is a rough approximation of how much taxpayers should be paying Congress annually to perform its Section 8-limited power duties.
Given that the plurality of clauses in Section 8 deal with defense, and given that the Department of Defense budget for 2015 was $500+ billion, I will generously round up the $500+ billion figure to $1 trillion (but probably much less) as the annual price tag of the federal government to the taxpayers.
In other words, the corrupt media, including Obama guard dog Fx Noise, should not be reporting multi-trillion dollar annual federal budgets without mentioning the Supreme Court’s clarification of Congresss limited power to appropriate taxes in budget discussions.
Remember in November !
Patriots need to support Trump by also electing a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will not only work within its Section 8-limited powers to support Trump’s vision for making America great again for everybody, but will also put a stop to unconstitutional federal taxes and federal interference in state affairs.
Also consider that such a Congress would probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.
I have been absolutely stunned at how many Freepers NEVER, NEVER, consider that when they try to push their VP pick.
So few have the wisdom you reveal with those few words.
Stupidity on display here. Every department has to be abolished, ABOLISHED and all the employees paid off with a week's or a month's, no more, pay and terminated. Civil Service has to go out with it. The 17th Amd has to be repealed. And that is a start.
