The video is about the progress in changing the structure of the government to a more streamlined version where we would had to interface with a smaller number of agencies. Looks good so far...

First step is to not elect democrats...... if they had it their way it would be 99% government and 1% free market.

The first step is to eliminate those agencies. That is all.

Until someone moves on the sacred cow of defense spending, they will have no credibility.

Small government for the 99%. Big government for the ruling billionaire class. Thats they way it should be. Massive no-bid government contracts, gifts to big pharma, huge military spending, too big to fail government insurance policy for the ruling class businesses ensuring lower interest rates for those companies.

This is the way forward. Next up: eliminate retirement security for the nation's elderly. We must do it. And the people born disabled currently get $700 a month to survive on. The same is true for a person involved in a traffic accident as a child which made that person permanently disabled. This appalling level of public support is of course too generous. It must be cut. Yes to small government for the 99%.

Gee, just to prove there's a difference, how about showing us some specific examples of how Reagan and Bush I and Bush II cut the size of government during their terms?

The government here really needs to cut it down by 60%. There is a large waste of government spending, jobs, and resources. Why employ government workers that require higher taxes, when you can have those workers in the FREE MARKET creating wealth and tax revenue? Big Government is a failure. No matter how big they are. They will always screw something up.

That's just empty slogans. Mexico has a very small government. Few government workers. It means nothing. What creates wealth is utilizing the human resources of the entire nation, making sure everyone can fulfill their potential.

Agreed - they are not the experts in any industry.

More responsibility to the private sector. Let the government handle basic common sense regulations.

Government should not be in the revenue stream of any industry.
