I think about 90% of the federal government needs to
disappear. With about 30% of its current functions
being taken up by the States.
Revise the 'state portion' a bit (actually A LOT) - make that about 30% of the CONSTITUTIONAL FUNCTIONS should be taken up by the States. All UNCONSTITUTIONAL FUNCTIONS should be ENTIRELY eliminated.
That means 100% of ALL REGULATORY bodies - those are strictly UN-Constitutional. Legislation MUST be passed by Congress, both Houses, and signed into law by POTUS.
Bypassing this function via 'regualations issued by regulatory bodies' has caused us INCREDIBLE COST and bureaucracy.
It is NOT legitimate for Congress to 'establish' a 'regulatory body' that can 'regulate' outside the scope of LAWS passed by Congress.
That means ABSOLUTELY NO FEDERAL REGULATIONS.
Laws - hyup - that's the way we set it up.
REGULATIONS - Not only NO .... but HELL NO !
