Don’t even think about adding to that $20 trillion. Instead take a meat axe to all agencies of the central socialist government and slash, slash, slash! Eliminate all the alphabet soup agencies that contribute to America’s failure, like the EPA, Energy, Education, etc. etc. etc.

You’re talking like a Democrat now!

One of the things that distinguished Trump from the other 16 candidates was that he NEVER talked about cutting entitlements. Yes, he talked about getting rid of EPA and some other stuff that creates a stifling business environment, and of course replacing Obamacare, but he ran without saying "boo" about welfare or regular Medicaid.

Reagan ran on leaner government, too. And despite the budget going up, he did end the CETA program, and put on an effective federal hiring freeze. Reagan also implemented cust saving measures from the Peter Grace Commission. It was pit in the wind compared to the need to make up for four years of Carter military draw down. Our national security was a bigger priority, then tax cuts and deregulation. Later, it was written that Reagan tolerated the bigger deficits because that kept the Dems from writing bigger checks. Now Obama comes along, and writes the bigger checks anyway.

President Trump has more than can be tackled in one term, even WITH cooperation. But he campaigned on greatness, not austerity, and if you hire Donald Trump to oversee the show you are going to get walls, airports and highways. You will also get revitalized business and a healthier employment environment.
