It’s easy to spout off Archie Bunker like, but these people have to govern and that means increasing the debt limit.

Nonsense. When does the bill come due when the feds keep kicking the can down the road? At what point is enough, enough? Can you live your life with these rules? To hell with your namesake Archie.

No need to increase the debt ceiling if you just balance the current budget. The “we already spent the money...” argument is bogus. Newt G. & Bill Clinton came close for a couple of years, Mr Trump should be able to balance it by the next budget, and then a modest surplus in the years after that.

Nonsense; just cut funding for every government agency that is not authorized to Congress via Art 1, Sec 8 or otherwise directly mandated by the Constitution.

It would eliminate pretty much everything but the Post Office, the Army, the Navy (of which the Marines are a part), the Department of Transportation, the Secret Service (they’re supposed to be about pursuing counterfeiting), the Mint/Treasury, and [perhaps] the IRS (Amd. 16 is part of the Constitution).

If there are objections, tell them to amend the Constitution.
