It's the natural course of things. Every civilization has followed it, and the necessary reset has always been war. Let's pray that we can accomplish it without that.

Musk has asked Ron Paul to join him and he's agreed to! Ron Paul has been waiting his whole life for this moment. Add one more superstar to Team Unity!

You could start by eliminating pilots and engineers who deliver the toxic airplane sprays over all our lands in the US. We must stop the poisoning of our air, waters and soils now.

Much more than that can be cut. When you see the vote in DC went 92% for Harris, it’s pretty obvious that cohort recognize their existence is not based on producing anything of value. They feed at the trough, they wouldn’t be missed in that role, but they could join the real economy and generate additional GDP for society if they were required to do real work.

I wouldn’t come within 10 feet of hiring an ex federal employee. They go to work for the government because they don’t have or want to work. They want high salaries and benefits that have no comparison in the private sector. Just keep them away from me. As a self employed entrepreneur, I want nothing to do with those people.

Exactly! What to do with them? Use those FEMA / REX-84 sites as re-education camps?

We can pretty much end a wide range of agencies overnight with no effect on government efficiency. Let's start wit GEC and CISA, who have accomplished nothing, yet think that they are in a position to decide for us what we can think and say.

Eliminate all green new scam crap - no subsidies for wind, solar, batteries, alcohol for gasoline etc

Eliminate federal mandates for electric vehicles

No Foreign Aid to countries that hate us

No funding NGOs bringing in illegals

No welfare, housing, medcaid, education for illegals

No fed funds for sanctuary cities and states

Eliminate all DEI programs across all levels of government

Cut off student aid for stupid degrees - a la Hungary that cancelled degree programs in gay, women, black studies etc that leave the degreed person with no hope for a job

Ron Paul can cancel the Federal Reserve and then cancel all the USA bonds and treasury bills - will cut debt by trillions instantly

Bring back work requirement for welfare

I'm all for eliminating the Senior Executive Service asap.

Help pay off the debt and cut the deadwood at the top of the tree.

Besides, this is the British Expeditionary force at the Council of Foreign Relations that the Clintons were privy to. Remember when Hillary gushed over their D.C.satellite office of the Pratt House? Our State Department is a den of anti Constitutionalists.The British Crown never ever has forgiven us for the Revolution and our We The People government and make no mistake, they want us back by hook or by crook.

"Our State Department is a den of anti Constitutionalists."

To some extent, the vaunted Constitution was a key enabler of the monstrosity we've been living with for some time now. There're several reasons the "anti-federalists" warned us against it, and the fact that it was a cetralizing document is an important clue.

Nock summarized it well.

“The Constitution looked fairly good on paper, but it was not a popular document; people were suspicious of it, and suspicious of the enabling legislation that was being erected upon it. There was some ground for this. The Constitution had been laid down under unacceptable auspices; its history had been that of a coup d'état.

“It had been drafted, in the first place, by men representing special economic interests. Four-fifths of them were public creditors, one-third were land speculators, and one-fifth represented interests in shipping, manufacturing, and merchandising. Most of them were lawyers. Not one of them represented the interest of production — Vilescit origine tali. (the dice were loaded from the start)

True that. However the Constitution has good attributes as well like the ability for amendment and does have a substantial Bill of Rights. If one doesn't want spiraling federal control you need to eliminate the income tax and the federal reserve malfunctioning fiscal controls for one example.

The $2trillion Musk speaks about cutting happens to be the yearly interest payment.

FDR defaulted. Nixon defaulted. Trump talked about defaulting in 2016.

The other guys went off gold, or confiscated it and went off it domestically.

Trump can go back ON Gold, at $27,000/oz or so, as I have read.

Default would be a start. The "creditors" need to be locked up for life. Every single one of them and their accomoplices and sidekicks.

Anyone receiving the proceeds from the debt deserves jail as well but I know that'll never happen.

so, that would include everyone with a Social Security pension or life insurance. Each of those debts is somebody's asset. Ever hear of the takings clause?

This is absolute grift. A standing army of bureaucrats beholden to the administration that hired them is close to outright corruption.

The deficit keeps growing along with the bureaucracy, while services and other tangible products of the bureaucracy keep dwindling. They have little to show for all the trillions they’ve blown.

“As of September 2023, there were approximately 2.95 million people working for the United States federal government. This is smaller than the number of people working for state and local governments, which was around 19.58 million in 2023”!

So 10% since Biden? That’s roughly 295,000 additional “Woke-WACKADOS” roundup for an all at once, MSG for the ultimate Trump quoted lime:

“YOU’RE FIRED”!

God this would be “sweet-Justice”! And justifiable too.

Goddamned parasites.

You have that right Freedom!

As I mentioned, Trump should bring back his show “The Apprentice”

And this time call it •Presidential Edition”

Then roundup the “10% increase workers” under Biden / Harris. Have the show at “MSG” then, all at once scram:

“YOU’RE FIRED”!

While airing on “Truth-Social” “X” and “Pay-Per-View”

He could then donate the money to “Bioweapon Injured” Americans.

I would love to see him do this and I would gladly pay to watch it happen!

Thank you Freedom, yes “Parasites” is exactly what these people are!

Lincoln of course was noted as having said--in his calm exasperation--"There are too many pigs for the tits!" with respect to the political spoils system. If he could only see the huge, pulsating, sweaty, engulfing, Alien-esque parasite that fedgov has become... he would likely have nothing witty or dignified to say; on the contrary, he may very likely shit his pants. I hate to vilify whole swaths of people (and I do often though), but what sort of citizen pursues a federal government job... and is so entitled at our expense to all manner of fat income, pension, etc. that the rest of us private sector tax serf types never see? (And of course it is far worse than this, since the federal "income" tax is voluntary, but the IRS fraudulently--through threat of force--extorts this of out us every annum.) What will these not-so-service-oriented so-called "public servants" do when separated from their gravy trains? They are such a force, and many of them inappropriately armed, no less. This will be interesting.

Not only bloated but criminal, and I say that as an "Honorably" discharged combat vet.

No one has to take my word for it hough since all they have to do is read this.:

“… I spent most of my [33 years in the Marine Corps] being a high class muscle- man for Big Business, for Wall Street and for the Bankers."

In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for [crony] capitalism.”

"…we have invited clean young men to shoulder a discredited musket and do bandit's work under a flag which bandits have been accustomed to fear, not to follow; we have debauched America's honor and blackened her face before the world. . ."
