"How is 80% of the government unconstitutional...?"

If you don't have time to read the whole thing, maybe skip to the 10th Amendment.

Social(ist) (in)Security is a problem.

Dismantle the rest of $3+ trillion, 80%+ unconstitutional, rogue, totalitarian, and anti-American portion of the federal gov’t first including unconstitutional and dangerous gov’t healthcare, and then let’s see how to deal with SS.

Try telling people how it is funded you’ll an make instant enemy. Even on this site people don’t want to accept that its a “forced Ponzi Scheme” in structure. Eventually even a “forced scheme” ends up in the crapper!

Time for me to go back and read The Federalist Papers. I sense the need to educate those who are deficient in their knowledge of the Constitution.

SS/Medicare is more than half of FedGov expenditures.

Anybody who isn't willing to bring that gunpoint ponzi scheme to an end isn't serious about getting government under control.

Using the high figure of $100k annual salary per federal employee, firing all of them would only cut the budget deficit $300 billion about 5%.

OK, well get rid of Medicare and the rest. Medicare doesn’t help anyone and it is utterly unconstitutional. That’s a start.

The Left will fight to the death, literally, if you try to dismantle even the non-SS portion (evidence the daily Leftist wrath when Musk was active in DOGE), but it MUST be done.

Then we’ll figure out how to deal with SS.

Also important are the Anti-Federalist Papers.

Lots of text and videos online.

Here’s some excerpts:

I have no problem with firing “do-nothing” civil servants. I have no problem shutting down whole agencies.

Until we have leadership with the guts and the brains to end all that unconstitutional “mandatory” spending it’s not serious. Net interest costs almost as much as defense. That’s insane.

You're getting on to the right track, now. That "mandatory" crap is ALL unconstitutional.

The Left will fight to the death, literally, if you try to dismantle even the non-SS portion

Their terms are acceptable ... Bring it, bitches.

BTW, the best news I've seen today is that some extremely wealthy conservative billionaire bought Dominion Voting Systems ...

When we get the fraud under control, necessary actions become easier.

One way to make tariffs more popular and defeat the evil FREE TRAITORS and globalists would be to use all the tariff revenue to augment SS funding. Doing that would make SS solvent FOREVER.
