Leave Congress out of it.

"take a blowtorch to it"
"send shockwaves through the system"
"destroy the administrative state"
"slash and burn"

My dumb, smug sister believes all this is just "making government more efficient"

NO. It's DESTROYING the government. And the economy with it.

LOOK AT ARGENTINA, PHILLIPINES, etc.

AND DEMOCRATS ARE UTTERLY SILENT AND NOT POINTING ANY OF THIS OUT.

AND THE MEDIA IS TOTALLY IGNORING IT.
