Great Society Wars
16th August 2026
For many generations, government has been a ratchet. It only grows, never shrinks. Trump flipped the switch. He is actually reducing the size of government. The process starts by cutting parts of government doing mostly harm, and very little good. USAID: send food to the starving, cut everything else. Department of Education: keep standardized testing, cut everything else. The EPA: End the War on Carbon, let the marketplace determine the future of electric cars and optimal miles per gallon, and quit moving the goal posts regarding clean air and water standards.
The next stage will be much harder. Don’t just cut bloated, wasteful, and ineffective, replace it with something lean, useful, and effective.
