I’ve got a question, Didn’t Reagan make a 10% cut in all departments, or at least proposed it, or made big cuts in purposed spending and the Democrats fought it like tooth and nail. It seems like I remember something like that, I’m kind of fuzzy on that history since I was a young ignorant whipper snapper back then.

Simply removing non core work responsibilities will be a start.

LIFO is a great way to get rid of the Obama plants.

It is not real change if we continue to maintain a bunch of unconstitutional departments doing unconstitutional stuff all the while we’re trillions in debt. This is not Trump’s fault, of course. But he’s missing out on a perfect opportunity to implement real, consequential change if he & the Republican House & Senate don’t go for broke to eliminate as much of Fed-Gov as possible. I’d start with giving all lands held by the government back to the states, & then eliminate every agency that manages them. Energy, Education & EPA should be high on the list for removal.

Just think of what would’ve happened if the Dems had really used their power when Zero first took office. They could’ve rammed amnesty through, but decided to leave it as a campaign issue for the next election. If they’d legalized all the illegals we would’ve never seen another Republican in office. That was their mistake. Let’s not make our own.
