To MAGA, this needs to happen:

- dismantle the unconstitutional 80% portion of the feds (some details below) AND
- then cut taxes to a FLAT 10%-15%...

THE RESULTS WOULD BE...

- the deficit would basically disappear
- the average American would be significantly wealthier overnight
- our economy would launch into the stratosphere
- the IRS would be reduced to a storefront
- AND we would be well on our way to the recovery of our Free Constitutional Republic.

WHAT IT WOULD TAKE TO DISMANTLE THE UNCONSTITUTIONAL 80% PORTION OF THE FEDS...

...start with abolishing these unconstitutional, useless, and harmful departments, agencies, and bureaucracies:

Department of Health and Human Services ($1 TRILLION budget!!!)
Department of Energy
Department of Education
Department of Labor
Department of Agriculture
Department of Commerce
Department of Housing and Urban Development
Department of Transportation
The 440 unconstitutional Federal Administrative Agencies including
EPA
FCC
SBA (Small Business Administration)

Our Goal to MAGA: RESTORE OUR FREE CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC!

If he can eliminate even a fraction of those agencies on the recent list, it will be infinitely more than any of his predecessors have done. My Dem congresswoman is up in arms about how the proposed eliminations will cripple all kinds of government meddling and boondoggles in her district, so I’m sure Trump has selected the right targets.

I’m sure some will be negotiated to stay but let the cutting begin!

What do you think will happen if we implement all of what you want?

Inflation? Social disruptions on a massive scale? HELLO!

I love watching the old series “Yes, Minister”’ a British comedy based on the bureaucracy versus the politicians on who really rules the nation. I believe Sir Humphrey, bureaucrat par excellence, was played to perfection by Nigel Hawthorne. Comedy but also eye-opening.

So you, an apparent participant on a site that stands for American Patriotism, think that limiting the federal government to it constitutional boundaries will cause inflation and social disruption?

You’re either on the wrong site or you need some serious remedial education about the Constitution and freedom.

Our goal to MAGA is the RESTORATION of our FREE CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC. Either lead, follow, or get out of the way.

Is that a large military coin collection on the table behind the desk? I wonder how long he has been collecting that?

Social disruptions

So you're worried about the Delusional Lying Leftists being angry if we win the cultural war to regain our Free Constitutional Republic? You'd rather continue to lose to these tyrants who want to put you in chains of tyranny than risk their wrath? You can't be serious. That's like Patton's army worrying about angering the Nazis as they rolled over the Rhine.

It's the increasing power that gives the anonymous men and women who toil in the U.S.' unofficial fourth branch of government immense say over nearly every aspect of American private and commercial life — with virtually no accountability.

If I was President, the first thing I would do would be to FREEZE ALL GOVERNMENT POSITIONS BELOW CABINET SECRETARY. No new hires, resignations and rifs would not be replaced.

Every department head and every bureau chief of every Cabinet position would receive the following memo:

Please bring an unsigned copy of your letter of resignation to my desk, effective (date), along with a copy of your official job description and date of hire, number of employees in your immediate supervisory influence, including dates of hire, wage/salary, and how long that position has been in place. Be prepared to answer my questions regarding your service, the necessity of lthe number of your subordinates' positions, and to sign the aforementioned resignation in my presence and leave it on my desk. Sample question you might be asked: "You have 3 administrative assistants. What are the duties of each position, and what did you do to be provided these services before they were hired?"

"- then cut taxes to a FLAT 10%-15%..."

Also make sure that federal taxing, spending, and domestic policy respects Congress’s constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers.

And to make Pres. Trump’s vision for MAGA last for many generations, the states need to repeal the 16th and ill-conceived 17th Amendments.

In fact, until the states wake up and repeal the 17th Amendment, evidenced by concerns about the integrity of Alabama's special Senate election, patriot candidates need to win elections by a large enough margin to compensate for possible deep state ballot box fraud and associated MSM scare tactics.

Unfortunately, Article I, Section 8, Clause 1 - limited tax powers - was overridden by the 16th Amendment conceived by the Leftist Republican Teddy Roosevelt and which will never conceivably be overturned. However, dismantling the unconstitutional 80% portion of the government will do a lot to defang the beast.

However, you’re right about spending, and domestic policy which is where we nuke 80% of the federal monster. Freedom and joy in America!
