Energy could be cut down, but I wouldn't eliminate it entirely. It includes things like the NRC (Nuclear Regulatory Commission). Maybe not a cabinet level department, but not just gone.

Education. Gone. Transportation, mostly gone. We need things like air traffic controllers... Homeland Security. Gone. Give the components to other departments of the federal government.

For those of you with limited perception, what I'm exposing here is the way the illegitimate Biden regime has used taxpayer dollars to weaponize foreigners to hate conservative values.

They're using YOUR money training leftists in foreign countries to attack what the Bidenites call disinformation.

Meanwhile, US citizens who lost everything are hurting.

The Bidenites gave victims of a hurricane $750 each and victims of a fire $700 each; let that sink in.

Bingo.

A lot of it is hidden though the use of "grants" and "loans" - which are never paid back

Foundations, "charities" and private NGOs' all have their snout in the trough.

Most people have no idea. They're content to shout slogans they saw on Facebook. That's not gonna cut it.

Are you beginning to see what I'm exposing here?

True, but some things are obviously something the government should be doing. Air traffic control is a good example. No, there is nothing in basic or founding documents about that, but it is a necessity and it is interstate in nature. Having the federal government do it so the system is coordinated makes sense. Having each state do it with their own rules and regulations makes zero sense.

On the other hand, education is clearly not a federal function in any way shape, or form.
