Elon and Vivek - go after the low hanging fruit first
self | 11/14/24 | self

Posted on 11/14/2024 2:15:45 PM PST by bill andersen

As Elon and Vivek are making a list (and checking it twice) I urge them to go after the low hanging fruit first in their great crusade to slash the bloated federal government.

The lowest of the low hanging fruit to go after is the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (aka The Corporation for Propaganda Broadcasting) and its nasty little child National Public Radio (aka National Propaganda Radio).

These two entities spew a constant stream of anti-american and anti-Trump sewage 24 x 7. If Elon and Vivek wipe them out cat ladies and beta cucks will be soiling their huggies and taking huge bites out of their comfort pillows.

I urge Elon and Vivek to create an electronic dashboard showing how much the taxpayers have saved from slashing useless government agencies. In addition they should have an electronic "deport-o-meter" showing how many illegal aliens have been deported and the amount of money taxpayers have saved.

Defund the left.

Every single department should be asked for a statement that specifically Asks them To justify where in the Constitution their job is defined

IMHO, the low hanging fruit are the ones that don’t have congressional authority. Those are the ones that can be shut down with the least blowback from the left.

Take the low hanging fruit first - that’s the road map for Elon and Vivek also for Tom Homan.

Where is John Thune from? Remove all ethanol subsidies and see how South Dakota fares.

1st fundamental restructuring of the US Federal Government in over 100 years. Way past time for it. Our Government still operates as if the Great Depression, WW2 and the Cold War are still going on.

The low hanging fruit in DC....

Ben Franklin might have said the fruits will hang together or will all hang separately.

don’t get rid of credit card companies, just limit them to 10% interest.

Absolutely. They are a private organization, not a government agency. The taxpayers should not be funding them. Let the Hollywood elites fund them.

We should brainstorm ideas here

And figure out a way to get them to Vivek and Elon

One good one would be to require each department to write a letter justifying their existence from the US Constitution.

Let’s just see how many departments we got.

Anyone that does not reply automatically gets funding cut off

That’s not a good or helpful idea

Where in the US Constitution does it say The federal government has the authority To Ban credit cards

I have a much different recommendation on where to start.

The priority should be to used the process to educate the public and win them over. First start with the FDA on how long it takes drugs to get approved in the USA, the same drugs one can buy in other countries.

Then move on to something like the EPA which has some crazy air pollution laws. One of my favorite catch 22’s that I have been personally involved with is for a “polluting manufacturer” who wants to modify their production process to dramatically reduce pollution, not being allowed to make the modification, unless they totally upgrade the plant to state of the art (and unproven) improvements. The EPA has an all or nothing policy that keeps many pants from making any improvements because it triggers a complete baseline evaluation.

Again, select changes that will reduce federal process and yet provide citizens with real and measurable benefits.

Does The Constitution give the federal government authority to do that?

Were trying to cut government not let it grow and have more Rules

Half their shows being hosted by conservatives would go a long way toward sanity.

Or better, 100% of their shows. They’ve had a monopoly for the last 50 years. So it’s OUR turn. In 50 years we’ll split the shows....
