Senate to vote on $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill this week

Eliminating departments would require legislative action.  Refusing to spend money would not. I see no hope in a legislative solution.  It is up to the Executive Branch to hold the line.

Me,either. Eliminating departments would result in the job loss of too many relatives for that to ever happen.

Actually, in the end, the ONLY thing that can truly fix it is a Congress with a Republican CONSERVATIVE super-majority, jealous of Congressional power... And that across several election cycles.

Yes.   The ones tearing down statues, canceling culture, and burning books are being subsidized with freshly printed federal dolllars.
Yes.  The ones advocating those things are being subsidized with freshly printed federal dollars.
Vote fraud is a State issue, made possible with the influx of freshly printed federal dollars.
Our justice system is in tatters because our federal government funds the challenges to it with freshly printed federal dollars.  Where do you think Planned Parenthood lawyers get their money?
Dreamers are being rewarded and unaccompanied minors are being moved with freshly printed federal dollars.

So, is your plan to stop -- cold turkey -- every dollar spent by the federal government to assist a citizen of the United States?

Two questions for you:  1.  What's the campaign slogan for this      and 2. Why hasn't any conservative politician, at any level, from any state, ever proposed this?

Like Reagan did?

Like Reagan did?

Uh, no.  Reagan never did that.  Wish he would have.  But he didn't.
