1. Bring independent agencies under presidential control
Congress has set up various regulatory agencies to operate independently from the White House. Mr. Trump has vowed to bring them under presidential control, setting up a potential court fight.
2. Revive the practice of “impounding” funds
He has vowed to return to a system under which the president has the power to refuse to spend money that Congress has appropriated for programs the president doesn’t like.
3. Strip employment protections from tens of thousands of longtime civil servants
During Mr. Trump’s presidency, he issued an executive order making it easier to fire career officials and replace them with loyalists. Mr. Biden rescinded it, but Mr. Trump has said that he would reissue it in a second term.
4. Purge officials from intelligence agencies, law enforcement, the State Department and the Pentagon
Mr. Trump has disparaged the career work force at agencies involved in national security and foreign policy as an evil “deep state” he intends to destroy.
5. Appoint lawyers who would support his agenda as lawful
Politically appointed lawyers in the first Trump administration sometimes raised objections to White House proposals. Several of his closest advisers are now vetting lawyers seen as more likely to embrace aggressive legal theories about the scope of his power.
Trump & GOP have released their post-convention plank on executive power. Do you agree with these plans? Why? Which ones concern you if any?
Because in case you haven’t noticed the US is $34 trillion in debt and these agencies are largely either useless or openly antagonistic against regular Americans
The IRS needs MORE resources to audit corps and mega wealthy!
Dept of ed is largely a clearing house for fed funds and that only makes up about 8% of local districts budget. They have absolutely nothing to do with curriculum decisions. That's at a state level. I'm just curious why you would want to get rid of it?
As far as the national debt 70% of it we owe to ourselves as the bonds are held by citizens and US charter corporations. That doesn't make it right but it's a lot less scary when it's not held by foreigners. That being said, China holds way too much US bonds and if they cash them in it would destroy our US economy in a heartbeat. That's something to keep us up at night
You understand the majority of people that the IRS goes after are making less than $200k. They are corrupt.
You pointed out exactly why the dept of ed needs to be abolished. They don't educate anyone. They don't need 82 billion of taxpayer money to push pencils.
This level of debt is unsustainable and will collapse the US economy.
They mostly redistribute that money and monitor schools. Fucktards in the South would never agree to a national curriculum cuz their dumasses
The level if debt IS unsustainable but its a demographic bubble of Boomers. Let them die and the ship will mostly right itself via inheritances. Think long term!
Yes i know who the irs audits!! Me? 2021!!! They need to expand resources to better assess rich people assets. Congress ain't gonna change any laws that would make a difference like carried interest

I’d prefer a wholesale 100% cut of several agencies, and an 80% cut in the rest.
Which ones? Why? You can't just day inane things like that!
IRS, Dept of Ed, Homeland Security, FBI for starters.
Ok but WHY?
