LOL...it's like we have months long conversations here, then you're asked a question and it's like you have never been a part of the conversations.
Basically, look at what's been written in Project 2025.
Cut 2.5 trillion out of the federal budget.
Completely eliminate departments in the government.
Privatize programs like Medicare.
Deport 10 million people where many of those are in our workforce.
Putting people in charge of our healthcare system, food and drug safety systems...etc. that don't have expertise nor believe in the science needed and have the goal of totally ripping apart the system.
Purging military leadership that isn't totally loyal to the President and replacing them with people that are.....and don't have the expertise and experience typically needed for the job.
Purging thousands of federal employees (because they haven't pledged loyalty to the President) from the federal workforce that are experienced and educated in what they do.
Purposely tear down the economy so this administration can rebuild it.
All of these things seem like the goal by who he has put in place in his cabinet. These are items that have been stated by either the President directly or the people he is putting in place.
LOL…in a months long conversation, lots of people say lots of things, then you all of sudden want a generic answer to EVERYTHING people have said? I won’t be looking at what’s in Project 2025 because you asked about what Elon and Trump want to do so I would go by what THEY have said on the record. so here are a few you laid out:
1) Federal Budget: In 2019 the Federal Budget was $4.4 trillion.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_United_States_federal_budget
In 2024 the Federal Budget is $6.75 trillion.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_States_federal_budget
So in 5 years, the federal budget has grown over 50%. Does that seem reasonable to you? Is it very possible there is some bloat, fraud or waste in that number? A corresponding revenue increase would have us at $5.42Trillion instead of the current $4.92 Trillion. We aren’t even keeping up with the same revenue/expenditure ratio. Soooo, I don’t think we are ever cutting $2.5 trillion out of the budget, but there definitely be $1 trillion to cut somewhere, somehow.
2) I don’t think we are eliminating any of the 15 Executive Departments but we could probably eliminate or consolidate some of the 2000 agencies within those departments. Do I know which ones? Nope. But common sense would tell ya we don’t need them all at the size they currently are at with the advent of technology.
3) privatizing CMS? I don’t believe Trump has said that or Elon. Maybe Vivek has??? Should it be reformed to reign in costs? Sure. But how is the trillion dollar question.
4) They won’t deport 10 million illegals in 4 years IMO. However, there are over 2 million illegal alien criminals already tasked for deportment that are still here or have criminal records that should make them easy to deport. Maybe start there, then move on to the Visa overstays?
5). HHS. You spoke of people in charge of HHS that had no expertise in the science needed. Valid criticism I agree….now let’s look at who is and has been HHS secretary.
Xavier Baccera—a lawyer?!?!
Sylvia Burrwell—previous OMB personnel?!??
Kathleen Sebelius—a Governor and previous to that insurance commissioner?!?!?
Donna Shalala—president of a University and then HUD?!???
Not a lot of medical expertise amongst those folks now is there. Did you complain about them at the time?
But to answer your question….i don’t think any other country is comparable to us in size or scope that is a democracy so your question is not answerable.
