So far, so good. I like the sound of liberals crying over their jobs and programs. Is there a way we can preserve their tears in some sort of Heritage fashion? Pure unadulterated raw liberal tears?

As long as they don’t slash the military, I’m all for it.

For starters, a hiring freeze will make a huge difference. Baby boomers are retiring in droves. Just don’t hire anyone new.

“Donald Trump is ready to take an ax to government spending.”

Great news.

“The departments of Transportation, Justice and State would see significant cuts and program eliminations.”

Eliminate the Civil Rights Division at the Dept. of Injustice and transfer the funds to illegal alien prosecutions and investigations of the passport office.

“Overall, the blueprint being used by Trump’s team would reduce federal spending by $10.5 trillion over 10 years.”

I hope it is front-end loaded so that most of the cuts begin immediately, not “five years out”.

It's a nice idea, but Congress is never going to allow this.

For one thing, I'm pretty damn sure Mitch McConnell's wife is not going to be overseeing a shrinking U.S. Department of Transportation.

“The Corporation for Public Broadcasting would be privatized, while the National Endowment for the Arts and National Endowment for the Humanities would be eliminated entirely. “

Wowzers! About time!

I think Trump has “Your Fired” down pat.

If the CPB got privatized, I know a few public TV types that might commit hari-kiri.

Until the $20,000,000,000,000 national debt is under control, cuts across the board is the only sane option.

We can’t act as world policeman on borrowed money.

Defensive weapons need to be strengthened, such as shooting down incoming enemy missiles. The 800+ military outposts on foreign lands need drastic reduction.

I'd be in favor of a funding exception for broadcasting that.

Good. Fed “workers” do little work of any positive value. Mainly, they collect their check, harass Citizens and wait for their cushy retirement. What a pathetic joke on Citizens. Probably, 50% of them could be sent one-way to Mars tomorrow and it would be a great thing for the country.
