I disagree.
The axe can be used to deport all illegal aliens. The axe can be use to end financial aid to foreign countries, except food. Never cash only food. Did you know that past Presidents get an expense account? Wonder about all the other bloat the elite class set up for itself. Scalpel.
The axe can be used on some Departments & agencies, some others will need to be grandfathered out as people move from dependence to self reliance.
In some cases, yes, but with a definite ramp-down plan and date of disassembly.
I like the idea of aid being food... and other materials. Medical supplies, water, blankets, clothing, etc. But yes, money needs to leave the equation as a matter of course, with PERHAPS certain exceptions of SMALL amounts made at the discretion of Congress and/or the President, with very specific limitations made to the grant.
