Between the climate change savings and the sanctuary city savings, Trump may be starting off with a surplus.
Ask 3 questions.
1. How much will it cost to fix global warming?
2. Who gets the money?
3. What is the mitigation plan in case they overshoot and wind up causing global cooling?
Since it is settled science, no more money needs to be spent on research. This means any research center, university or scientist that is receiving funding can be cut off. And they should until the 3 questions above can be answered.
Next thing, Trump should form a council with energy companies and “reputed” environmental groups. Any environmental group with an agenda will be omitted from the council and labeled as frauds. Trump should task this council with creating the right energy balance that will maximize our resources and lower costs. Part of this council’s task is to force third world energy producers into producing cleaner energy using American ingenuity and products.

And he could also throw in the UN “dues” and his cuts to support of NATO now that our other “partners” understand that they have to pay their contractually mandated costs for same. Cut back all foreign aid, and you have the makings for the start of the repair of our own infrastructure. And maybe even the defense contractors will realize that continuing the screwing their own country is a bad idea.
Somewhere here, there may finally be some realization that the money our government spends doesn’t come out of thin air.
