It is the Wall Street Mafia/CIA shadow government, the constitutional elected government is a front for the people who actually run America. There are claims that Trump will try to change this. If so he is very unlikely to succeed.
 
Regulation and public spending have continued to increase.

When the government couldn’t raise taxes high enough to keep up with Congressional spending (mandatory and discretionary), the Federal Reserve inflated the money supply, a strategy that became easier after the gold standard was fully abandoned in 1971.

Since in the late 1960s, the number of pages published in the Federal Register has exploded.

The number of pages of the Code of Federal Regulations, which is thought to reflect the overall regulatory burden, has increased by a factor of 10, from twenty thousand to over two hundred thousand pages, and there's no end in sight.

To be clear, regulations are not laws passed by Congress and signed by the president.

There are so many regulators that it’s like a sports game with more refs than players on the field!​
 
Trump could by executive order, force every such agency to remove, say 5% in one calendar year or face losing an equal part of their budget next year...

Could he?

Oh, absolutely. It'd read something like this:

You will remove 5% by page and word count of rules and regulations your agency currently has published in the Federal Register by (date). Until this directive is met, 5% of your current budget is withheld. Failure to meet this directive by (same date) will result in an equal decrease in your next year budget until met.

Nothing in this order precludes your agency from performing all actions it would normally take in the course of business. It does not preclude making new regulations. It only requires that the total length of your regulations in word count and page count in the Federal Register goes down by 5% by (date).

That is something a president can do unilaterally, immediately (aka day 1), and it will have a MASSIVE effect on every agency with shit published in the Federal Register.


Right now, there is close to 100,000 pages of rules and regulations in the Federal Register. That order reduces it to 95,000 give or take. You could up it to 10% and it'd be close to 90,000 pages. Do it 4 times and your close to 80,000 pages and falling. That will have an effect. Choose the percentage to remove, but make it achievable and realistic. Force agencies to stop putting in new rules before they've pulled out a bunch of existing ones. Drive the total down. That's less shit for lawyers and such to argue over.

I'm not sure that'd fly.

Another issue is letting the unelected bureaucrats pick the regulation sto be pruned. Think they'd choose the worst ones?

Who cares what they pick? After 4 years, they've had to remove about 18% of the regulations they started with and have had great difficulty making any new regulations. Since they had to do this by volume, not by some amorphous standard like "redundant" or "outdated," they really had to remove 5, 10% of their regulations. This also means that the President can call for a RIF on year 2 and 4 to remove those bureaucrats (roughly 10% each time) that are now redundant because the regulations they over saw are gone.

We need a chainsaw, not nail clippers, and that's what Elon and Vivek have vowed to use. They only have until July 4, 2026.

A smaller Government, with more efficiency and less bureaucracy, will be the perfect gift to America on the 250th anniversary of The Declaration of Independence.

It doesn't have to be the only way you are cutting government, but it should be ONE way you definitely are. Getting rid of the bureaucrats doesn't get rid of the paperwork. You get rid of what the bureaucrats are doing, then rid yourself of the bureaucrats.

Who in the hell do you MAGA think keeps the government working? Delivers basic service we all have grown accustomed, depend upon in out daily life? I’ll tell you who, it ain’t some politician’s amoebian “deep state,” but the administrative system that functions regardless of what politician comes or goes, it has to, or we would be without everything from SS checks for all you boomers to airport traffic control for airfare safety

It ain’t 1950, and every crusading politician coming to Washington boasts they are going to get rid of the bureaucracy, it was one of Reagan’s supposed core promises, and in the end, he added to it
