It certainly does. And even if Trump gets in, with a House & Senate majority, do they realize they need to eliminate half (at least) of the federal agencies currently in existence? Would they have the will to do it? I’m doubtful.
How would this look? What would Musk do (WWMD)?
1. Structure
- Inventory every agency and their departments
- Find out the purpose of each
- Lop off agencies and departments that aren’t needed
- No congressional approval required
2. Budget
- Congress would have to adjust the budget based on the departments that are cut.
- Real cuts, not just cuts of the next proposed budget
- Trim the remaining budget by 15%, spread across all agencies
- Pass a law for required trimming/rehiring of 15% of the workforce every four years.
- Maybe early retirement for the deadwood, if needed.
This would get rid of all the govt fringe that looks for trouble, the little gods hiding behind their administrative tin badges (Dept of Education, EPA, DOJ, etc).
