Trump's plan to dismember government

[Chris]

I cheer Trump's plan to dismember government (http://www.cnn.com/2017/03/14/politics/donald-trump-dismember-government/)!


President Donald Trump plans to dismember government one dollar at a time.

...It would codify an assault on regulatory regimes over the environment, business and education bequeathed by former President Barack Obama, and attempt to halt decades of steadily growing government reach.

..."If you look at these Cabinet appointees, they were selected for a reason and that is the deconstruction. The way the progressive left runs, is if they can't get it passed, they're just going to put in some sort of regulation in an agency," Bannon said.

But then I read this about efficiency and think nothing will really change.


"We're going to do more with less," Trump told state governors late last month, promising a government that is "lean and accountable to the people."

It's not his Government to Dismember nor is it Job ... if he doesn't like Government, how about going back to Real-Estate

The more President Trump demolishes the unconstitutional federal government agencies the better I like him. I am only sorry the agencies will not be ended. The EPA should die, not simply be pruned. The Education department should be dissolved. We have almost 500 federal government agencies. Only about a dozen bear a Constitutional basis.

What is his job then?
It is to run the Government!GET IT?
Not disembowel it!

What is his job then?

Job Description
The Constitution assigns the president two roles: chief executive of the federal government and Commander in Chief of the armed forces. As Commander in Chief, the president has the authority to send troops into combat, and is the only one who can decide whether to use nuclear weapons.


As chief executive, he enforces laws, treaties, and court rulings; develops federal policies; prepares the national budget; and appoints federal officials. He also approves or vetoes acts of Congress and grants pardons.

He swears to uphold the Constitution.

"Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation:—'I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.'"

He ran on this platform, and won.

How else would you describe his job than to do what it is he promised?

[DGUtley]

I applaud it. Return governance to the states.

Sadly, you don't understand the government. Perhaps the Constitution should help. Liberal presidents have grown the government topsy without so much as a by your leave. A president can reverse that.

Americans are tired of being ruled by bureaucrats, petty pointless regulations, and corrupt politicians. Getting one who hated them was possibly the final straw.

Folks remember, Chris is a self described anarchist. Don't expect anything from him like you would a good citizen.

So he's not a 'good' citizen then? Typical of your posts, you are mentally incapable of crafting any substantive argument whatsoever and you invariably fall back on petty insults. Nothing more than flamebait McCarthyism out of the 1950s

"Don't expect anything from him like you would a good citizen." -- typical McCarthy logic. People who think differently from you, by definition, are not 'good citizens' -- it is facially insulting and demeaning without any further explanation.

Jim truly is a miserable old fool.

It's hard not to feel a little compassion toward him sometimes. At this point in his life he will never know any better. His judgment has already been handed down to him.

Retaliating by flaming another member is not a good look either.....

Return to the Articles of Confederation.

Thanks for your totally false statement. How is quoting Chris a personal insult? Shouldn't you be bitching about taxes?

He was correct though, Jim.

True, but both pertain to the point of the OP.

Making government more efficient makes it worse.

:loco::thinking::f_doh::Doh!: I'll let your post speak for itself

So would you agree that to a statist a good citizen conforms to the government, whereas to an anarchist governance conforms to the people.

[Cigar]

Why is Republicans / Conservatives only approach to any problem is to either go backwards, eliminate the symptom or do nothing?

Neither approach takes any intelligent thought :tongue:

Can't answer for Republicans.

For myself, it's a deep distrust in solutions purported to be intelligent and reasonable. To me solutions arise from the interaction of people. But then I'm a libertarian anarchist.

Those are liberals disguised as anarchist strawmen.

Can't answer my question? Would you agree that to a statist a good citizen conforms to the government?
