Trump is in the
process of replacing welfare with work. Middle Class Jobs are coming back to
the US and growing in States where oil and gas production is underway and
pipelines and infrastructure is being built. There is a shortage of truck
drivers and construction workers. As factories are reopened, there are
manufacturing jobs ahead. As trade is renegotiated, the US trade deficit will
shrink. Tariffs will contribute to federal coffers. All of this is aimed at growing the private
economy and shrinking the public sector.
With that will come more freedom and reduced government spending.
Trump began 2017 with
a hiring freeze to begin to trim down federal government spending. To date, Trump has cut the budget for EPA,
the State Department and other agencies and combined Education and Labor. Trump
is proposing cuts in welfare as jobs are restored and cuts in programs that are
questionable at best.
Trump budget cuts $54
billion - Members of the
U.S. Congress returning from the Fourth of July break have only 33 work days, accounting for their scheduled
August recess, to negotiate agreement on President Trump’s federal budget
proposal in time for the October 1 start of the 2018 federal fiscal year.
The president’s
proposed budget would cut $54 billion from “non-defense” programs that provide
job training, housing, health care, and education for tens of millions of
Americans, to bolster spending for the military and border security. It
proposes unprecedented funding cuts across multiple federal agencies, including
the National Institutes of Health and National Science Foundation, and the
complete elimination of 66 federal programs.
The US federal
government needs capital expenditures to replace inadequate equipment and
processes that are creating low productivity. Many federal functions need to
return to the States. Many federal entities need to be moved to the private
sector. Compensation and pension costs for government employees need to be
reduced to track the private sector. Remaining federal entities need to be
reformed to address current needs. This requires returning most functions back
to the States and the People. We need a plan to pay down the $21 Trillion
National Debt to $5 Trillion. Congress and the Courts need to become compliant
with the US Constitution (as originally written).
