#1 The size and force structure of the national government has to be limited, period. It was never intended to be a 'Swiss Army Knife' of governing.

#2 The CDC does not require 'congressional' funding. It would appear they have access to secret Intelligence Community funding.

#3
Start with returning every Federal Dept & Agency to it original scope & mission?

Thus erasing 50 to 100 plus years of liberal scope creep.

#4 Limit:

All acts of congress, laws, statutes, resolutions and so forth to 10 pages, dealing with a single topic each.

Congress may pass 10 laws a year. All subject to sunset when that congress closes.

Government to 100 departments, bureaus, agencies. All subject to sunset every 10 years.

Cap federal employment.

Taxes to a capped percentage of the previous year's GDP. If the economy goes down, so do taxes.

I'm sure that's only a start.

#6 Defunding agencies in the Federal government will result in the layoff of mostly Democrats in the government. As these people are largely unemployment, look for crime and homeless problems to occur in blue cities?

#7 All laws, departments and pet projects cancelled and start again from the baseline of constitution with amendments (and change/add a couple amendments too).

A complete rebuild from bare metal is needed.

#8 If it isn't explicitly mentioned in the constitution as being a Federal power - give it back to the states. Enforce the 10th!
Education
Welfare
Labor
Environmental Protection
the list goes on and on and on...

#12 Dems will turn this around to say they are the supporters of the blue and Federal agencies. Headlines tomorrow.
