The Establishment is going to be VERY, VERY pissed at all of us!

They're power is crumbling, and their neat little line of successors is no more!

The real power has shifted to the Conservatives.

Congress wasn't a full time job in the early days

Needs to go back to that.

Absolutely agree we need to get back to where Congress wasn't a full time job. Alas getting it back there will require a full time job for probably a generation. Even with liberally using my favorite kind of bills:
The following laws and all rules and regulations developed pursuant to them are hereby repealed:
001 …
002 …
.
.
.
Somethings can be repealed fully but will require more complex language to accomplish that. Some things need to be federalized: deleted from the federal level, but recreated to at least some degree in at least some of the states. Code probably needs writing to simplify states taking over former federal programs including willing personnel and to let them easily optimize such programs to fit their own needs. Fund the turnovers NOT by block granting Federal funds, but by returning tax base to the states for them to tax instead as they see fit. New Yorkers may well be willing to pay higher taxes to pay for more government services than Iowans. Let them, and let the resulting state economies compete accordingly within a constitutionally maintained free market. But don't let high government states finance that off of other states.

You can't transfer everything at once as there must be a limit on how fast states can complete the desired transfers. Prioritization will be needed. And we won't be able to get down to the historically desirable 3% of GDP Federal spending for a long time. We'll need to pay down the debt and likely will need a fairly large defense budget for at least a couple generations, both to clean up the messes liberalism left. But 3% should be the long term goal. Increased growth, initially due to Federal shrinkage, then accelerating once state voters recognize lower government states are growing faster and demand the same.

The last few days they resemble a dog chasing a car...then catches it.
