Reduce the federal government to only those functions enumerated and delegated to it by the U.S. Constitution and you reduce the federal budget by about 90%. The largest item would be national defense. All other functions to be returned to the states and the people to decide per the 10th amendment. Look it up.
And a big plus to that would be that with less for them to “control” there would be much less room for bribery and corruption. Also, our congresscritters would have a lot less work to do in DC so could go back to being part-timers. We’d also not have legions of unelected, unaccountable tyrannical bureaucrats unconstitutionally writing legislation (”legally binding” regulations).
Jim, this is THE answer to MOST of our nations woes:
“Reduce the federal government to only those functions enumerated and delegated to it by the U.S. Constitution and you reduce the federal budget by about 90%. The largest item would be national defense. All other functions to be returned to the states and the people to decide per the 10th amendment.”
BRAVO!!!
