Promise #2 - Dismantle the Administrative State and Return Self-Governance to the American People
1. Reduce government to size and scope as original constitutional intent.
2. TOP PRIORITY: Remove policymaking of Administrative State - “work done by the bureaucracies of all Federal government departments, agencies and … employees.”
3. The Administrative State strangles domestic energy production, helps migrants criminally enter country; injects racist propaganda in schools; sacrifices transgender extremists; force troops to learn about “white privilege”; and “infuses US foreign aid programs with woke extremism about “intersectionality” and abortion.
4. restoring fiscal limits and constitutional accountability to the federal government not the unelected bureaucrats
5. The Conservative Promise lays out how to use many of these tools including: how to fire supposedly “un-fireable” federal bureaucrats; how to shutter wasteful and corrupt bureaus and offices; how to muzzle woke propaganda at every level of government; how to restore the American people’s constitutional authority over the Administrative State; and how to save untold taxpayer dollars in the process.
6. Finally, the President can restore public confidence and accountability to our most important government function of all: national defense. The American people desire a military full of highly skilled servicemen and women who can protect the homeland and our interests overseas. The next conservative President must end the Left’s social experimentation with the military, restore warfighting as its sole mission, and set defeating the threat of the Chinese Communist Party as its highest priority.
7. President should ignore the ruling elite and use his office to reimpose constitutional authority over federal policymaking.

Thanks so much for this blog, Avi.
ReplyDeleteI expect there will be many things that trouble me in Project 2025. My commenting on one area is not to suggest that I'm fine with everything I didn't comment on!
That said, I will comment on this beginning bit:
"1. Reduce government to size and scope as original constitutional intent."
To make this work, do Project 2025/Trump intend to reduce the size of the populace to the original as well? That was about 2.5 million people in July 1776. The founders' original intent was that the Constitution (and thus, the government it empowered) would grow and change with the population and with the times. From day one, amendments were allowed and even, from compromises that predate (and facilitated) adoption of the document, planned. (Yes, Avi, I have read the Bill of Rights!). Even if we ignore the difference the passage of over 230 years makes, clearly our current population of 331 million (as of 2020) has different needs and challenges than those original 2.5 million. The "original consitutional intent," devoid of 21st century context, cannot be our only guide to interpretation.
