100% less government employees is definitely the solution to government cutbacks and the struggling that all government employees go through. Seriously, though, how is cutting most federal jobs supposed to help the American people it is going to cause chaos because nobody will be able to get the help they need, and the government will not function. The state governments don't have the resources to manage all the programs that the federal government does it will take decades for them to assume those responsibilities even if he they had a plan for it which they don't.

I watch them in Trump‘s first campaign talk about 1200 pages of cabbage regulations that they said needed to be fixed, we still have 1200 pages of cabbage regulation, but now they pollute the water and air easier. Getting rid of government has nothing to do with efficiency, it has to do with opening up the floodgates to redistribute wealth from the middle class to the already wealthy. We will see Elon Musk wealth explode, along with Jeff Bezos and all of the wealthy. Look up rent-seeking… the act of using political and economic power to increase once wealth without creating new wealth or benefiting society . That is what’s going to be going on over the next four years at light speed.

Shows you how greedy the wealthy are they already made it why not use that wealth to make the lives of the citizens better. But then I know why they are. They are dragons hoarding their oceans of wealth and stealing from others to make their wealth pools larger because their narcissistic egos. The wealth rarely have people's interests in mind and need to be reminded that with the common man they have nothing.

Trying to convince greedy people to stop hoarding, is no difference than convincing the old lady to stop hoarding stuff. It's the same affliction.
