Cut $1 Trillion a year

The U.S. Federal Departments and Agencies have lost their way. Some never had a way to begin with. Many are working on climate change; a myth. They are an embarrassment. Others are implementing U.S. Agenda 21 using climate change as a pretense for forming a one world socialist government. They are dangerous. Some are keeping us from drilling our own oil and natural gas. Most are damaging our economy and undermining our sovereignty. Some are just irrelevant. We can no longer afford them. We need to close them and let the States take over these functions. We would be far better off if we followed the Constitution as written.
