The  best thing would be to eliminate the federal govt and let the states go their  separate ways.

Im not sure we can trust the military, at least not the Joint chiefs of staff who are sock puppets concerned with gay rights more so than Security of our foreign operations. But I think you have a lot of good people in the armed forces.

I would say border patrol would be most important....same situation; rank and file are good people doing a tough job while the fools in charge tie their hands

Quote from: Possum on August 22, 2021, 07:43:05 AMThe constitution calls for the post office, but I do not see where it could not be run on it's own or die on the vine. As far as the rest, I would love to see it on the ballots which ones to do away with, as they are not doing the job they were created for, BUT, I can't help but feel if we could ever get term limits most of the problems we see with the agency's go away. Most of the problems I see are the result of too many years of rino and democrat rule.

Post offices and post roads: I don't understand why our taxes pay for it yet we have to personally pay to use it. Toll roads and stamps are Unconstitutional in my eyes.

Double-edged sword: we need all states to be Constitutionally the same.

No argument here.

Why? I can go live  in relative freedom in South Dakota while California  can be  Venezuela.

Damn, Read the Fuckin Constitution, and understand it!!!

I am suffering badly with all that is going on. I am very worried that something is being planned on 9/11. We have no idea how many terrorists Biden has rolled out the red carpet for on our border.

I believe you are absolutely right! Beijing is calling patriots, "Domestic Terrorists" while the REAL terrorists are being given the red carpet by the Biden administration. I see many more Americans dying as a result of Beijing's and the DNC's labeling.

Where will it all end? I don't expect it to until after the rapture. Even then it will only "end" figuratively and per the media propaganda.

Well not eliminate it altogether, but certainly reduced considerably.

Yes anything not at the federal level that needs to be done by govt should be given to the states to decide so there can be competition among ideas.

One thing you need tho is free commerce among the states. You cannot have states putting tariffs on other states goods. You also need a common currency. In the days before the constitution we had the Articles of Confederation. They are good to examine to see what problems too many states rights can cause. Different states minted their own currencies and that seized up the gears of commerce.

One thing I would love that we dont have now would be a law forcing states to cover the cost of extraditing criminals to the states they committed their crimes. Right now there are ALOT of people who are like nomads and move from state to state committing petty crimes to survive.

Quote from: Solar on August 22, 2021, 06:45:54 AMCan anyone name one Govt entity besides our Military that can't be done away with?
Just one, and give it some serious thought, just one that can be trusted and kept.

Mental health services.

Quote from: sataspa on August 22, 2021, 10:42:49 PMMental health services.

In the past, we called it jail. You'd have been amazed at the attitudinal adjustment it made on the so called "Mentally Ill".
Do stupid shit, pay stupid penalties, now the left elects them, and Soros hires them to riot.

This is just one of the many reasons we have a 2nd Amendment. Seriously, if you're so off mentally, then prison is where you should be for your own protection!

Washington's four cabinet posts:War (Defense), Treasury, State (which I would split into Exterior and Interior), Attorney General. Most of the others sprang into existence as permanent lobbies for a particular special interest (i.e., Labor, Commerce, HHS, HUD, Education, etc.etc.).

No, the best would be to fix what is wrong.

...starting with all of the lies and misinformation that the MSM ran with from the Democrats. Then maybe the fraudulent election (Marxist installation?), could be "fixed" as well!
