I don’t discount what you are saying. Don’t get me wrong. I don’t totally disagree with you either. It will be hard.
I point to what Barry has done and how he did it. Force of will. Thats how to undo it. Yes. It will be financial carnage. Yes it will be massive unemployment.
The Iceland bank situation shows that it’s managable. Easier to manage the carnage than to maintain the problems. Most of these jobs are a false economy. The regs eliminated with these depts would immeadiately create a boomtown from atlantic to Pacific. And globally.
But it can be done.
We will need a strong personality at the top. Stronger even than Reagan IMO. The congress, the Democrats, and the media will howl loudly and make the president look like Attila the Hun at the first hint of downsizing the government. We could even see riots in the street (stirred up by the usual suspects). I hope we elect someone with the metal to do it. Our national debt is a train wreck just waiting to happen.
