The U.S. government has become bloated with costly inefficient bureaucracy and self-serving politicians. An army of bureaucrats live off of our taxes. There is a budget crisis in the federal government. Most congressmen realize this but lack the courage and discipline to do anything about it. I want to trim excessive government spending.
We need to balance the federal budget. I would abolish outdated, costly and inefficient federal agencies, in particular the education department. The current Congress tried and failed to do this. As of several years ago, the USA had dropped to 30th internationally in one measure of student performance. However, we were fifth in cost per student.
