from The Hill: Trump team prepares dramatic cuts

Donald Trump is ready to take an ax to government spending.

Staffers for the Trump transition team have been meeting with career staff at the White House ahead of Friday’s presidential inauguration to outline their plans for shrinking the federal bureaucracy, The Hill has learned.


The changes they propose are dramatic.

The departments of Commerce and Energy would see major reductions in funding, with programs under their jurisdiction either being eliminated or transferred to other agencies. The departments of Transportation, Justice and State would see significant cuts and program eliminations.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting would be privatized, while the National Endowment for the Arts and National Endowment for the Humanities would be eliminated entirely.

Overall, the blueprint being used by Trump’s team would reduce federal spending by $10.5 trillion over 10 years.

there are a lot of pundits saying that Trump said this and imho this really sounds great. Some how it would sound better if it were true; anyone got a link to Trump saying his?

If the fed government were cut in half, no one would notice any changes. But leftists sure would scream

Let's start with the office of vice president, we don't really need two presidents..

... leftists sure would scream

Ordinarily that should sound like an improvement but now that I look it seems they're already screaming a lot lately anyway...

Yes they are one with the establishment and the 1%, but many average Ds don't know it.

Agreed.

We're talking about the same 1% aren't we?
