I heard someone say that they would love for Musk and Trump to trot these programs that they are slashing out before Congress and read every single one out loud, describe what it was funding and how the money was being used, and then make these politicians defend each line item in turn, in public, and on the record. Every pork belly project that has been shoved into the spending bills by both sides for decades, that many passed without even reading the contents.
As am I. Among other things, it would also answer the criticism that only Congress has the power to allocate funding, therefore only Congress can deallocate it.
Which is perhaps narrowly true, but broadly subject to interpretation depending on what exactly was written into the appropriation. But I digress. This is a wonderful idea.
And suddenly, C-SPAN would have some of the highest ratings of any network in history... :-)
A few years ago, the South Park tv show had an episode called "Let go, Let Gov," IIRC, about this very subject, where one of the main characters visited the local DMV and saw how everything was organized by the petty bureaucrats of that organization. It was enlightening. 💡
Raze the statist temples to the ground. Those who cannot recant and be deprogrammed, scatter their zealots into a diaspora.
I have been saying for decades that "Americanism" cannot abide life with anything from the collectivist rainbow (Liberalism/Socialism/Fascism/Communism/Maoism/Marxism). They are mutually exclusive philosophy on how life should be lived and sooner or later one must destroy the other. These collectivist parasites have for too long basked in the good graces and tolerance of Americanism and have for the last 4 years actively tried to assassinate it.
The tolerance for those who wish America and her society destroyed ends now. The degree of your corruption and damage has been exposed and proven Margret Thatcher right: you can only survive on other people's money. (Just like Karl Marx lived.)
If you want to live a collectivist life, there are several other nations that will fit your liking, but not here. Go in peace or face the consequences. Co-existance is no longer possible.

I'm for that!
