This Executive Order directs the Director of the Office of Management and Budget to present the President with a plan that recommends ways to reorganize the executive branch and eliminate unnecessary agencies.

President Trump wants to hear your ideas and suggestions on how the government can be better organized to work for the American people.

1. Prosecute the crimanals in all government agencies and spheres of Government influence — this includes Clinton(s), Soros, Comey and ect... ect....

Nothing meaningful will ever get done while these people are around to mess up real reform.

2. Break up the government service unions. Worst government idea of all time. It allows the said criminals in #1 to gain and consolidate power.

3. Promote service to the country as a very honorable thing to do.

4. As it is in business, it is usually better to give those closest to the local level the tools and power to make decisions — while maintaining acountablity.

5. Establish a government office of best practices that will be a great resource for the local decision makers as well as businesses. One of the best practices to be reinforced is #4.

The Elites hate these ideas as it means they have to give up their centralized power to lord it over people.

IMHO, these things alone will generate dramatic improvements as well as bring out the best in people.

There is a good chance that President Trump will read anything posted of significance, that in itself is truly an honor and tribute to Free Republic.

I trust the White House to make all the right decisions and will stand with my fellow FReepers by having their back.

The FBI does not need to be collecting information on all Americans - only those under investigation for a crime. NsA should focus on communists and jihadists and refer cases to the FBI. Curtail NSA spying on US citizens where there is no Islamist or Cartel activity. CIA should only be dealing with foreign spying.

REmove all “right wing’ groups from Homeland insecurity and DOD targeting. Bring in private contractors to replace the TSA. Limit searches to Islamists and felons.

Talk about what you are doing for Vets - loud and proud. don’t forget them. I want to know what changes have been made.

We don’t need a Federal Dept of Education. Stop funding student loans for majors that will produce no income to pay off the loan, ie majors in women’s studies and race tribe studies. Lay out equal rights for white students - all Americans in education. Defund Muslim studies at all levels of education. Get rid of stupid grants in education.

Find some way to measure the effectiveness of different University education departments in order for them to get student funding. Measure journalism Departments to be sure free speech and political freedom and professor political balance are present and use this measurement to decide on student funding.

I seriously suggest to President Trump that he request the responsible House and Senate committees to begin several parallel undertakings, fully understanding that it will take them years to do so.

1) The reorganization of the federal judiciary in four ways: structurally, to eliminate bottlenecks and to insure judicial equity between the states, and the people; the reform of criminal a civil procedures, to insure an Article VI speedy trial, but a speedy civil procedure as well; the elimination of vast amounts of superseded *stare decisis* (judicial precedent) from the process.

Fourth, to strike numerous petty and redundant cases from being in the jurisdiction of the federal courts. For example, public school dress and speech codes clog the federal courts but are never resolved enough so they can’t be brought up again. Let them be handled at the state level.

If what amounts to the same of practically identical case is introduced to the federal courts more than a few dozen times, it should no longer be within the federal jurisdiction.

2) A complete revision of the tax code resulting in the *initial* elimination of some 80% of the code. Essentially starting over with a blank slate.

3) An easy process by which any federal employee or contractor can be reasonably and quickly fired for malfeasance, and stripped of any benefits due them, as well as barred from future federal employment or contract.

4) Create an “opt out” for all new enrollees of federal entitlement programs. That is, allowing citizens to opt out of belonging to the Social Security and Medicare entitlement, with their FICA taxes instead going directly to a private retirement and health account. Likewise, parents could opt out their children from these programs, so that when they become adults, they can choose to stay out or enter the entitlements.

The opt out applies to enrollment in Social Security, getting a REAL ID, even answering any question beyond an actual enumeration on census forms. You don’t join, so you never get benefits.

1. Shut down Energy, Education, and any other department that costs more than it benefits. Downsize as much as possible. For those who can’t be immediately removed, put them in a rubber room with no computer access, and with nothing to do. Cheaper to rubber room them than to let them continue subverting the nation.
2. Move remaining personnel out of DC and into the hinterlands. They ARE the swamp - drain them. The small and medium sized cities would love to have a government office - only rule is that it has to be at least 500 miles from the east or west coasts.

To: Sacajaweau; All
Thank you for referencing that article Sacajaweau. Please note that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

"Everyone wants smaller government but no one wants anything cut."

Patriots are reminded that the states have never expressly constitutionally delegated to the corrupt feds the specific powers to establish most of the federal social spending programs that many citizens are now depending on.

This is evidenced by the following excerpts from the writings of Thomas Jefferson and previous generations of state sovereignty-respecting Supreme Court justices.

So patriots need to support Pres. Trump in working with the states to peacefully “force” the corrupt feds to surrender state powers that the feds have stolen from states back to the states.

After that is done, a substantial percentage of personal federal taxes would probably disappear — and let’s repeal the 16th Amendment to make that official.

And although state taxes would need to go up so that the states can establish their own social spending programs based on 10th Amendment-protected state powers, it would be easier for the citizens of a given state to work with their state lawmakers to make laws that make it easier for a state’s voters to fire bad-apple state lawmakers and other crook officials.

Note that unlike corruption in the federal government which can affect all citizens in the nation, fallout from government corruption in one state would at least be minimized in other states imo.

Insights welcome.

What are the purposes of the National Government? The Preamble to the Constitution says “form a more perfect Union, provide for the common defense, establish justice, provide ...Liberty,” and so on. And a National Government acts as an intermediary between our citizens and the rest of the world. Any Agency which does anything else, could be, should be, eliminated.

Moreover, there are many agencies whose fields of action overlap, duplicate, or are naturally subsumed by other Departments. Do we really need a Dept of Commerce, a Dept. of Transportation, and a Dept. of Energy? Is not the Government’s interest in Transportation and Energy to facilitate Commerce? So fold DOT and DOE into Commerce, reducing the Secretaries of those Departments to Assistant Secretaries, with a corresponding cut in pay and perks, and reduce everyone under them one grade in title and compensation as well. I’m sure you all can suggest other examples of duplication and redundancy.

Another good place to start could be with the Presidential Staff. Much of its work duplicates that of the relevant Cabinet Departments. Why have a National Security Advisor when, as POTUS, you have a Sec. Of Defense? Isn’t that HIS job? And so on.

Block all computer systems from access to porn - you know like private businesses do. It is very easy.

Force a 10% budget reduction in all Departments - including the Pentagon with no mission reduction or change.

Fire everyone who was hired by Obama and take a close look at those hired by Bush. Find and make a harsh example of any leakers.
