To reduce the federal bureaucracy, we must recognize that many regulations are illegitimate. The executive branch has created numerous rules unlawfully, and acknowledging this is key to shrinking its size. This approach could effectively curb the bureaucracy's illegal actions and ultimately save the country. The growth of the federal government is relentless, as institutions inherently aim to protect and expand themselves. It's rare to hear suggestions about significantly reducing its size, but even a modest cut could transform foreign policy, the economy, and culture. There is potential for meaningful change.

Abolish the Department of Agriculture, Commerce, Education, Energy, Housing and Urban Development, and Labor. Keep the Department of Defense and Justice, and the State Department. The Department of Health and Human Services should be reduced significantly, while the National Institutes of Health and CDC can be debated. The Department of the Interior should be downsized, selling off government-owned land. The Treasury is necessary for tax collection, and Veterans Affairs could be eliminated by paying off veterans in lump sums. Ultimately, the government should focus on four and a half fundamental functions: preserving peace, defending the country, adjudicating disputes, and protecting individuals from coercion. Local and central police functions are essential for maintaining order.

We propose starting from zero and determining what's necessary, aiming for a 75% reduction in federal bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. The federal Department of Education, which spends $80 billion, is unnecessary since education should be managed locally. By eliminating excessive regulations and reducing the federal bureaucracy, we can lower the national debt and stimulate economic growth. These savings, combined with a growing economy, will help us stabilize finances without affecting Social Security or Medicare. Once we achieve a surplus in Social Security, we can reassess our financial strategies.

As government expands, individual freedom diminishes. Over the years, freedoms have been eroded by increasing laws, regulations, and the growth of federal agencies, which currently number 428. It's hard to justify the need for so many agencies, especially as two new ones are created each year. Each agency contributes to the loss of personal freedom. To regain our freedoms, it's crucial to reverse this trend, which will lead to greater prosperity and personal happiness.

The goal is to restore democracy by fixing the feedback loop between the people and the government. We can't have a democracy if the bureaucracy is in charge and unresponsive to the public's elected representatives. The bureaucracy has become an unconstitutional branch of government with too much power. We also need to address the $2 trillion deficit, which threatens to bankrupt the country. Interest payments on the national debt exceed the defense budget. It's essential to reduce federal expenses to keep America solvent. We've found odd instances of bureaucrats with modest salaries accumulating tens of millions in net worth. Basic controls are missing, leading to blank checks being issued without categorization or explanation. Payments are made to entities on the "do not pay" list. We need common-sense controls to ensure taxpayer dollars are spent wisely and to address issues like Social Security payments to 150-year-olds.

I didn't hear any mention of spending or national debt, which is concerning. We need to control spending to address broader issues. The national debt is a symptom of the nanny state, which consists of three parts: the entitlement state, the regulatory state, and the foreign policy nanny state. To tackle the entitlement state, we should attach work requirements to government aid. For the regulatory state, we need to reduce the number of federal bureaucrats and eliminate unconstitutional regulations. Lastly, we should implement zero-based budgeting for federal expenditures, including foreign aid. By dismantling these areas of unnecessary spending, we can effectively address the national debt and restore self-governance in the country. The focus should be on these root causes, as resolving them will lead to a healthier economy and civic responsibility.

To reduce the size of government, I plan a 75% reduction in federal employees during my first term, with 50% cut in the first year. This includes shutting down agencies like the FBI, IRS, ATF, CDC, and Department of Education. Reviving the integrity of our constitutional republic requires this action. If elected president, I believe in term limits for bureaucrats, just as I would have a limit on my own term. As a CEO, I know that if employees can't be fired, they don't truly work for you. This approach will ensure accountability and efficiency in government.

Abolish the Department of Agriculture, Commerce, Education, Energy, Housing and Urban Development, and Labor. Keep the Department of Defense, State, Justice, and Treasury. The Department of Health and Human Services should be cut in half, while Veterans Affairs could be eliminated by paying off veterans in lump sums. The government should sell off most of the land it owns, retaining only what’s necessary for government buildings. The core functions of government should focus on preserving peace, defending the country, adjudicating disputes, and protecting individuals from coercion. Local and state police should handle the enforcement of these functions.

Abolish the Department of Agriculture, Commerce, Education, Energy, Housing and Urban Development, and Labor. Keep the Department of Defense, State, Justice, and Treasury for tax collection. The Department of Health and Human Services should be cut in half, with the National Institutes of Health and CDC eliminated. The Department of the Interior should be downsized, selling off government-owned land, which is currently too extensive. Veterans Affairs could be replaced with lump-sum payments to veterans. The government should focus on four fundamental functions: preserving peace, defending the country, adjudicating disputes, and protecting individuals from coercion, primarily through local police.

The government will always spend whatever taxes yield and more. Government is currently too large, with programs that don't work and cause more harm than good. We don't need new government programs. We need to eliminate the ones that aren't effective.

Nine eleven started as commercial insurance fraud. It was known in 1988 that the Twin Towers were condemned because they didn't wanna pay the $2,000,000,000 to dismantle the buildings the hard way. Controlled demolitions was forbidden. When that was briefed to Dick Cheney as secretary of defense, I believe he said, praise the lord. This is going to be a terrorism event that will give us a reason for invading Iraq and Afghanistan. And at that point, the nine eleven, which was planned and executed by the Zionists, which is not the Jews. When I say Zionists, I'm talking about what's called the red mafia. That's the Russians, Israelis, and Americans who are a criminal network that happens to control Benjamin Netanyahu. It does not control Donald Trump. People don't understand that Trump is biding his time. The NSA is not about solving problems or making America safe. It's about keeping the money moving. The second reason that the program was canceled was because it was starting to reveal all of the Americans who were complicit in nine eleven. The problem we have in The United States is that the intelligence community is all about spending a great deal of money doing very bad things. So let's say overall, there's about 300 things that the intelligence community should be reporting on. They don't. They report on two things, war and terrorism. And in both cases, they're the ones starting the wars and funding the terrorists.

The FBI has expanded significantly, and its intelligence operations are problematic. I would close the Hoover building and reopen it as a museum, reallocating the 7,000 employees to focus on law enforcement across the country. They should be out there fighting crime instead of being tied to bureaucratic roles. The same applies to the Department of Justice; many are more focused on promotions and titles than on their duties. While it's essential to bring in qualified individuals, it's equally important to reduce the size of government.

This report outlines how to cut waste, streamline bureaucracy, change procurement and personnel rules, and create a more efficient and cost-effective government. Where the report recommends action, I will act. This includes eliminating 12% of the federal workforce, merging agencies like the FBI, DEA, and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, and closing hundreds of government offices outside of Washington. From day one, I committed to rooting out wasteful spending. We must systematically eliminate waste, even if it means cutting worthy programs we can't currently afford. While much action requires congressional approval, we don't need to wait. We've launched our campaign to cut waste independently because Congress hasn't acted enough. We will continue finding ways to cut waste, regardless of congressional action.

The focus should be on identifying the motives behind current issues, with John Brennan seen as a key figure. It's crucial for Trump to ensure his security, as there have been previous attempts on his life. He needs a team of dedicated individuals ready to reform the government. There’s a need to consider significant cuts to departments like Education and the FBI, and to reevaluate the CIA's role. Trump's primary economic strategy should center on unleashing America's energy potential, which could revitalize the economy. Additionally, there is a demand for a swift accountability task force to address issues without lengthy delays, aiming for decisive action within 60 days.

History shows government spends all tax revenue plus more. Government is too big, its programs aren't working, and it's doing more harm than good. No additional government programs are needed; existing, ineffective ones should be eliminated.

There are people in the United States government who have intelligence that you don't. While some individuals may be corrupt, there are still good people working there. It's important to be prepared by getting emergency food, arming yourself, and having satellite communication. The time to do this was yesterday, but now is the second best time. There are only two scenarios: either we're sorry or we take necessary action against the terrorists. These terrorists are not fighters or freedom fighters, they are demons and savages. They are cowards and bloodthirsty demons. They will come for you next.

Abolish the Department of Agriculture, Commerce, Education, Energy, Housing and Urban Development, and Transportation. Keep the Department of Defense, Justice, and State. The Department of Health and Human Services should be cut in half, with a focus on public health. The Department of the Interior should be downsized, selling off government-owned land, while retaining land for government buildings. The Treasury is necessary for tax collection, and Veterans Affairs could be eliminated by providing lump-sum payments to veterans. Ultimately, the government should focus on preserving peace, defending the country, adjudicating disputes, and protecting individuals from coercion, primarily through local police functions.

A major goal of this presidency is restoring democracy. True democracy requires a strong feedback loop between the people and their government. Currently, an unelected bureaucracy holds excessive power, undermining the will of the people and elected officials. This is unconstitutional and needs to be corrected. We must also address the massive national deficit—currently exceeding $2 trillion—to prevent national bankruptcy. The interest on this debt surpasses our defense budget, a shocking reality. Reducing federal spending is not optional; it's essential for the nation's solvency and its ability to serve its citizens.

We need to reduce government size, particularly within the FBI, which has expanded unnecessarily. The FBI's intel operations have caused significant issues, and I would repurpose the Hoover building into a museum while reallocating its 7,000 employees to focus on law enforcement, tackling crime directly. Government reform is essential, and collaboration with Congress is necessary to eliminate redundant positions. During my time as deputy DNI, we identified and cut unnecessary roles, which Congress appreciated as it saved money. Agencies often request more positions without justification, leading to unfilled roles and wasted budgets. It's a misconception that agencies can't return unused funds; they often spend unnecessarily to avoid returning money to Congress.

Eliminating agencies like the IRS, CIA, and FBI raises concerns about intelligence gathering. Before 9/11, despite a $40 billion budget, the FBI ignored critical information about potential threats. The inefficiency of bureaucracy is the real issue, not the lack of funding. Increasing presidential powers and sacrificing liberty for security is dangerous; history shows that doing so leads to the loss of both. We are facing the implementation of a national ID card, FISA courts, warrantless searches, and secret prisons, which undermine our liberties. It is essential to restore constitutional rights and protect American values.

We should question our trust in the FBI and DOJ regarding their ability to police themselves under FISA. They have consistently shown over the years that they cannot be trusted. Congress needs to address this issue and stop relying on the surveillance state to fix it, as it has proven ineffective. Trusting these agencies again would be unwise based on their track record.

We neglect our farmers, while the homeless, sick, and other problems persist in our major cities. Yet, we spend billions defending countries that are wealthier than us. Instead of raising taxes, we should lower them. Our payments to NATO are disproportionate and absurd. Our country is in financial ruin because we engage in unnecessary actions. If we focused on our own interests, we could generate profits and use them to support our homeless, poor, sick, and farmers. We should prioritize spending on those who truly care about us, rather than giving money to countries that don't.

Prolonged peacetime leads to increased bureaucracy and government growth. Regulations multiply yearly, and war historically serves as a necessary, albeit undesirable, reset. To avoid this, we've created a Department of Government Efficiency. We'll streamline regulations at the executive level, requiring Congressional consent for law changes. Our goal is to eliminate harmful regulations, downsize government, and balance the budget. This is incredibly difficult; past attempts have failed, and we may not succeed this time.
