Some of us want a smaller, leaner government. That means it's going to have to get it's fingers out of a lot of pies.
It is possible that may be the only way for us to survive long term as a country.
Leaner? You mean shifting to a third world oligarchical plan. Tariffs on things we don’t produce here like coffee? On things we can never produce in the scale of other economies owing to the shift to scrap traffic like steel? It’s suicide not lean. That’s what lean is in the Russell Vought plan, study it, it’s about privatizing infrastructure that has no revenue sources unless it’s passed directly to consumers; think a 600 dollar private road toll to go interstate while the middle class go local routes. They’ve studied these parameters for decades. This is eviscerating our competitiveness both locally and world stage.
The idea a political ideology of Reagan/Clinton leaner has been narratively co-opted for asset raiding and infrastructure abandonment tells me that laypeople are missing the big picture on a colossal scale.

This would benefit from curation and organization (and, like, taking out -- how do I... -- like, all the filler, like, time wasting words just, like, taking up room on the page).
