Yeah he spoke of Reagan easing the tax and regulatory burden as a means of paying down debt. When you lighten the load on the people, jobs are created and revenue increases thus paying down debt.

I understand that line of reasoning, but taking out government agencies and bureaucracies eliminates the financing of that agency as well as those that are 'employed' to perform it.

And I wouldn't worry about any unemployment burden .... they'll all be absorbed by the openings left by the vacating illegals as THAT problem is chased down
