I like your thinking!
Like you said...
“Just for starters.”
I want an army of “Chainsaw Al” accountants to go in and slash every non-essential government service and employee at the federal level as well as the state level to absolute minimums.
Don’t know who Chainsaw Al is?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_J._Dunlap
Albert John Dunlap (born July 26, 1937[1]) is a retired corporate executive. He was best known as a turnaround specialist and professional downsizer. The ruthless methods he employed to streamline failing companies, most notably Scott Paper, won him the nicknames “Chainsaw Al” and “Rambo in Pinstripes”. However, his reputation was ruined after he engineered a massive accounting scandal at Sunbeam-Oster.
I hope Trump reads FR or at least one of his staff does.
In retrospect you probably should have left that part about the "massive accounting scandal" out of it.
