Of course it can be done. It’s just that you apparently have come to see government spending as sacred or inevitable. Trade is just one aspect. Apply real business principles to all over government and the savings will be tremendous. Start with selling off federal lands...how much could that bring? Make countries pay for their own defense. Eliminate unneeded jobs. Reform government pay and benefits to be in line with economic conditions. There is so much waste and fraud. This is exactly why the establishment fears a president Trump. He really will drain the swamp.
You bet. Just like the leftist told all it was impossible to secure our own borders...
Government wastes hundreds of billions per year, which do not in any way benefit the American people, and in fact cause more decline. In fact, I’d bet we can also eliminate 500,000 bureaucrat positions with little effort.
