I keep thinking of all the Democrat senators who have railed against cabinet nominees, and then badger them "it is a yes or no question, answer the question". Nominee tries to provide context, and the senator starts screaming "yes or no answer".

They've also been big on saying everything that Trump is doing is unconstitutional.

Well, sit everybody in a room with the Constitution prominently displayed for all to see. Then go down a list of all agencies/policies/etc. Then they can only state "yes or no" if that agency or policy was established

explicitly via the the Constitution.

If the answer is no...then, in Milei's words...AFUERA πŸ”₯

There's possibly some useful functions that end up getting shut down, but considering what a corrupt, nepotistic and self-serving boondoggle the US federal state apparatus as a whole has become, America is best served with it getting axed brutally, and the useful parts getting rebuilt from scratch.

I agree - along with the approach of cut deep...then add back/rebuild from scratch. Yes, projects (and possibly aid) will be delayed. But we are then starting with a clean slate (or as clean as you could ever get in government) that benefits everyone.

Boondoggle. Good word.

An argument could even be made that some useful functions getting axed would open the door for more self-sovereignty and self-governance by those whose aid has been cut. Being made aware of one’s reliance on government could very well be the impetus they need to become self-reliant.

Indeed. Several possibilities are in play right now.

or even better, Mr Lee, "break it all down" and then leave it down.

Amen!
