#01 Common Sense Federal Government Spending:
Apercu #01: Common Sense Federal Government Spending:
• To expand liberty and so stimulate the economy, the Constitution of the United States must be revisited under scrutiny as:
• To ensure federal debt must be paid off and so become an ordinary line item in the annual fiscal budget Appropriations Bills,
• thereof, ‘borrowing’ must no longer be part of the budget process,
• thereof, if taxes fail to pay the budget, cut the budget or raise the taxes.
• So, observe, the annual outstanding federal debt level had first reached one trillion dollars: AD 1962,
• But thereafter, spending became more uncontrolled, much beyond regular tax revenue levels, so consequently bounded debt up the “trillion dollar ladder” to:
{ $21,000,000,000,000 };
{ 21 million million dollars }:
{ 21 thousand billion dollars
{ 21 trillion dollars };
• SO, consider: these dollars to be incomprehensible as to what “we the people” actually paid for and suppositiously had gotten.
• SO, consider: these dollars to be but extortionate debt, the outcome of overspending;
• SO, consider conversely: such fringe borrowing had so availed money to be spent irrationally.
• SO, consider viewing “the trillion dollar ladder,” descriptively:
• So by linking trillion dollar debt levels to the year so first posted;
• So by pinpointing president & house speaker pairs, who have been most directly responsible:
• and so by revealing the two spending sources:
• fiscal tax revenue and
• debt, borrowed money so thieved from futurity.
debt year posted President / House Speaker taxed / thieved
$ 1 AD 1962 Kennedy / McCormack $ .1 trillion / $ .0 trillion
$ 2 AD 1986 Reagan / O’neil $ .8 / $ .2
$ 3 AD 1990 Bush / Foley $ 1.0 / $ .2
$ 4 AD 1992 Bush / Foley $ 1.1 / $ .3
$ 5 AD 1996 Clinton / Gingrich $ 1.5 / $ .1
$ 6 AD 2002 Bush Hastert $ 1.9 $ .2
$ 7 AD 2004 Bush Hastert $ 1.9 $ .4
$ 8 AD 2006 Bush Hastert $ 2.4 $ .3
$ 9 AD 2008 Bush Pelosi $ 2.5 $ .5
$ 10 AD 2008 Bush Pelosi $ 2.5 $ .5
$ 11 AD 2009 Obama Pelosi $ 2.1 $ 1.4
$ 12 AD 2010 Obama Pelosi $ 2.2 $ 1.3
$ 13 AD 2010 Obama Pelosi $ 2.2 $ 1.3
$ 14 AD 2011 Obama Boehner $ 2.3 $ 1.3
$ 15 AD 2011 Obama Boehner $ 2.3 $ 1.3
$ 16 AD 2012 Obama Boehner $ 2.4 $ 1.1
$ 17 AD 2014 Obama Boehner $ 3.0 $ .5
$ 18.6 AD 2015 Obama Boehner $ 3.2 $ .6
$ 20 AD 2016 Obama Boehner $ 3.5 $ .5
$ 21 AD 2017 Trump Boehner $ 1.3 $ .3
Observable marked pinpoints:
Bush / Foley first to a trillion dollars of taxes,
Obama / Pelosi first to a trillion dollars of thieved futurity,
There was 15 trillion dollars of debt in the 21st century, by but two presidents,
Taxes declined, yet spending increased each of seven years.
SO, debt much not just grow, but must be paid;
SO, not to go beyond fiscal year AD 2016 .
SO, not to spend beyond the tax level: $3.5 trillion.
SO consider this:
debt held by the public: $11. trillion: notes & bonds here & abroad,
debt held by the {FRB}: $2.4 trillion: ‘monetized debt,
debt held by Federal Accounts: $5.1 trillion: misappropriated funds
SO consider this: the placement of additional debt is problematic and harmful.
SO consider this: $300 billion are appropriated but are not authorized as required by law,
SO consider this: this blank check spending must be stopped: and so unauthorized spending must stop being appropriated.
George Washington, General of the Army, first President of the United States,
“The last official act of any government is to loot the Treasury”.
SO consider the debt fix:
• debt must positively be turned about; orderly but expeditiously so,
• by ‘Minding the gap’ between taxation receipts and expenditures”
• by ‘planning just accurate repayment’,
• by positive focus: ”Add-on none, and unflappably retire some“.
• No diversionary funding distractions!
• No superseding spending priorities,
• No wistful political set-asides,
• No tolerance of corruption or waste.
• But, not likely, unless “we the people” have achieved a true ‘Debt Checkmate! ?’
Dr. Isaac Asimov AD 1920-1992 prolific author:
more than 500 books and an estimated 90,000 letters and postcards; able public speaker; PhD in biochemistry; vice president of Mensa International;
“The difference between life and chess, life goes on after checkmate”.
Harriet Beecher Stowe, Philanthropist, Author “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” AD 1811-1895
Stowe said: ”When everything goes against you,… never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn”.
Stowe said: “Common sense is seeing things as they are; and doing things as they ought to be.”
Stowe said: “A little reflection will enable any person to detect in himself that setness in trifles which is the result of the unwatched instinct of self-will and to establish over himself a jealous guardianship”.
• So consider this, governance owns nothing, but must confiscate “We the people’s” wealth to so allocate DC “freebies”
Alexis-Charles-Henri Clerel de Tocqueville
French Historian and Author of: “De La democratic en Amerique” Volume I & II AD 1835-1840
Alexis de Tocqueville wrote: “The American Republic will endure, until politicians realize” “they can bribe the people with their own money”. {& compounded with generations of progeny’s money}
David Malpass, American Economist, founder of Encima Global in June AD 2008,
Malpass, said AD 2014: “To win elections politicians have promised practically endless government spending and covered up the cost, leaving generations of taxpayers obligate to pay off the debt. That’s wrong, but neither the U, S, nor {socialist} Europe has a plan to stop it/“
Frederick Douglass, Eminent American Author, Philosopher, and Statesman, AD 1818-1895
Douglass said:”I would unite with anybody to do right And with nobody to do wrong“.
Douglass said: “The life of the nation is secure only while the nation is honest, truthful, and virtuous”.
Douglass said: ”Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.”
Ayn Rand AD 1905-1982, Renown American philosopher: her system of Objectivism; playwright, screenwriter, novelist: “The Fountainhead” and “Atlas Shrugged”,
Rand said: “There are two sides to every issue: one side is right and the other is wrong“,
“But the middle is aways evil“.
Rand said: “Reason is not automatic. Those who deny it cannot be conquered by it.”
John Adams {2nd} President of the United States
1st} Vice-President of the United States
Adams said: ”In politics the middle way is none at all”.
Andrew Jackson, 7th United States president,
Jackson said: ”I am one of those who do not believe that a national debt is a national blessing,
but rather a curse to a republic; inasmuch as it is calculated to
raise around the administration a moneyed aristocracy dangerous to the liberties of the country”
So, consider a simple solution, so via {BWT}:
• So enlist “new blood,”
• So send {OSA} home.
• So consider this: ‘obvious fiscal sanity’ (OFS), the only way out
Dr. James Q. Wilson with Dr. Catharine Coles, Renown American Sociologists:
Taught character @ the Hoover Institute.
Authors of: “Fixing Broken Windows: Restoring Order and Reducing Crime in Our Communities,” AD 1996
• Dr.Wilson & Dr. Coles wrote of “the broken windows theory” {BWT}:
• postulating:
“A clean and ordered environment, which if maintained
would reduce serious crime”. {BWT}
• So, consider this: “For pure and ordered lawfulness, sweep [OSA] out of D C,
which if maintained, would reduce serious calamitous fiscal crimes” {BWT}.
• Or consider that such desperateness Needs: {AvC},
• Or needs: the re-location of DC to stalwart Constitutional venues, perhaps a venue for each branch.
• Or even both.
• Thereby, rightfully, federal debt would be gone.

Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill, British Prime Minister, WWII
Honorary citizen of the United States and Honored as the Greatest Briton of all Time
“You can always count on Americans to do the right thing-after they’ve tried everything else.”
John Maynard Keynes AD 1883-1946
British Econometrician, Keynesian Macroeconomic Theorist, founded: the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, and the International Clearing Union, an advocator of Great Britain’s Socialism
Author of: “The Means to Prosperity,” AD 1933:
• Keynes wrote: “By interventionist policies of ‘counter-cyclical public spending,’ governments must Manipulate Consumption and Savings”.
• Keynes wrote: “Prime the pump,” “the government should step in to increase spending, either by increasing the money supply or by actually buying things itself”.
Author of: “The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money” AD 1936
• Keynes wrote of Free Markets: “Under-employment and under-investment are likely to be the natural state unless active measures are taken”.
Ludwig von Mises AD 1881-1972,
profound Free Market Economist: Austrian School of economic
& renown Social philosopher
Author of: “The Theory of Money and Credit,” AD 1912
• von Mises wrote: “Increases in money & credit causes inflation & responding business cycles.” “Such pseudo-savings create an out of balance of capital and consumer goods”. Thus, “Recession liquidates unsound investments and reestablish free market norms”.
Author of: “Socialism,” AD 1922,
• von Mises wrote: “Artificial markets can’t work, because the means of production needs a free market private property exchange of title for genuine pricing and costing“. That’s what it {Commerce} is all about. “The issue is always the same: the government or the market. There is no third solution”.
So (OFS) triumphs by completely undermining [OSA] ‘overspending,” aka:
• {EPS} ”Empty Pocket Spending,” has been amoral and painfully unlawful: seeds of disunity, decline, and despotism and debt. Thereof, the process must be disassembled and snuffed out. That by such ‘Budget Authority’ {BA} orderly impounded & reset to zero, appropriations rescinded, and attributable Acts, as not in Pursuance of the Constitution, struck down and made null and void.
• Thereof, [OSA] horrendous {FRB} supported ’credit card’ artificial spending, must be proactively cancelled till debt’s paid fully. aka: no more monetary debt.
• Thereof, sadly jobs will be fewer, necessarily so.
• There’s no constitutional clause to finance limitless governance via thief nor make debt into money.
• Thereof, the ‘borrowing limit’ {BL} game, must at last become dated and ended, recognized as to be no more, when the last limit is used up.
• Thereof, Those parts of governance financed by debt, must be shut down.
• “All those ‘borrowing limits‘ pronouncements suffered for nothing“. (OFS)
Alan Greenspan, American economist,
Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, AD 1987-2006
Greenspan said: “Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the hidden confiscation of wealth“.
Greenspan said: Soaring Entitlements, Government Spending is’Extremely Dangerous’ to the US Economy
• Thereof, consider this: true”Authorizing Budgets,” would spearhead reduced governance and so require a surplus:
• Each “budget authority,” {BA} which would want to allot money to a State, or Local Entity, must be reset to zero. Each such Appropriation must be rescinded. Any attributable Acts so not in Pursuance of the Constitution, must be so struck down and made null and void. States, Cities, Counties, schools, researchers, or other Local Entities have not “The Authority” to tap into the United States Treasury and must be barred and forever kept out. (OFS)
• Each Local Entity, must make do without “the benefit of other people’s money, labor, or free services,” yielding to “you don’t get something for nothing”.
• Each State, must be relieved of all reciprocity and so be limited to budgets self financed from that states’ own Treasury.
• • All “Budget Authority” savings must be dedicated to Federal Debt Reduction {FDR}.
• Each “budget authority,” {BA} which would want to hand out money to benefit a foreign Entity, Organization, or
Nation, including the Export-Import Bank, must be reset to zero. Each such Appropriation must be rescinded. Any attributable Acts, so not in Pursuance of the Constitution, must be so struck down and made null and void. Foreigners have not “The Authority” to claim money from the United States Treasury and must be barred and forever kept out. “Such Acts of bribery benefiting those of foreign places must not be considered governance at all”. “Thereof, must so be brought to law”. (OFS)
• Thereof, American’s overseas branches, or installations, must have “budget authority” withheld, save such as are vital to an ongoing or expected conflict.
• Thereof, American military, located in an estimated 120-150 Nations, must be brought home to America.
• • All “Budget Authority” savings must be dedicated to Federal Debt Reduction {FDR}.
• A true “budget “ governs each itemized expenditure, from plan to fact, according to the economics of tax limits and choices. Much alike an American “detailed filled in checkbook,” changeable, but always within controlled balancing tied to the flow of income. Each item to be justified or fail without an ‘overdraft’. That by the American way of thrift, realizing there are decisions to be made to rightfully manage tax scarcity and spending affordability.
• Thereof, each Appropriation Bill must be originated from, and remain the equal to, the sum of a collection of bottom-up, narrowly focused, when “Authorized Budgets,” posted, and summed by thousands not to be imaged by billions & so allocated arbitrarily by some favoring “ruling class” stooges.
• Thereof, those working forecasts of detailed proposed spending, must be created anew;
• Thereof, not to be a system of automatically brought forward and percentage increased numbers in mass,
• Thereof, thus so to be limited by Rational Resource Reality. {RRR}
• Thereof, “Authorized Budgets,” must be keyed and coded by entity & location (aka [EPA] office, NY, NY 10007).
• Thereof, let it be that an I-Pad would reveal the wherewithal of what [EPA] 10007 spent today and will spend tomorrow.
• Thereof, each Appropriation Bill must be earmarked accurately to a share of the anticipated fiscal year tax revenue.
• Thereof, Revenue expectedly limits Spending. • Thereof, Critical tax shortfall possibilities must be determined and apportioned.
• Thereof, wherever revenue is not found to be adequate, ‘Budget Authority‘ {BA} must be reset accordingly, so to match or to be rescinded to zero.
• Thus, to nullify a corrupted Congress’s non-stop give away of stuff bought from a treasury that already has been emptied of revenue. Needs {AvC} {BWT}
• Thereof, to ease the balancing process, double entry General Accounting, whereby expenditures are matched to revenue, must replace Single entry “Governmental Accounting,” whereby guessed at consolidated balances are unknown till the fiscal year has ended, aka: “define the shortfall”.
• And to so revert to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
• Thereof, unfunded liabilities can be tabulated on a Balance Sheet at the point of law, historically revealed, and programed for payment or discharge.
Each “mark-up of the Bill,” aka changes, must be put back to the very “Authorized Budgets” affected; that to ensure compliance, balancing, and reductions.
• Budgets must be built, not imposed by “know-it-all gangs” reporting to the ‘ruling class’.
• The “gang system” of law making, must be struck down: replaced by constitutional representative government.
Needs {AvC}, {BWT]
James Madison [4th] United States President,
the acknowledged “father of our Constitution”,
and champion of the “Bill of Rights”
“You must first enable the government to control the governed;”
“And in the next place, oblige it to control itself.”
• Each Authorization Bill must stand-alone, be edited in plain English, be no longer than The Constitution of the United States, exclude Acts of Appropriation & or Rules.
And must ensure that:
• only activities in Pursuance of the Constitution, have been authorize,
• “budget authority” {BA} does not exceed expected tax revenue,
• “bureaucrats at any pay rate, do not receive funds for legislating,
• That of which is unappropriated for, becomes expired,
• Authorizations must come to be voted each fiscal year or be expired.
• Authorizations Bill expired, receive no automatic unlawful Appropriation.
• Each Appropriation Bill must stand-alone, be edited in plain English, be no longer than The Constitution of the United States, be 100% supported by “Authorized Budgets,” be but one fiscal year, And must:
[a] Demonstrate that its authority is so in Pursuance of the constitutional enumerated powers, ‘necessary & proper,’ and so separated.
• {thus, so as not to repeat the perversions of the past}
[b] Specify but a solitary entity,
• [thus, pinpoint costs of doings to each location of an Agency, Board, Commission, department component, Bureau, et alia]
[c] Top at $34,125,000,000,
• {thus, regulate spending to remain in the reality of tax revenue, by going after what has failed, not needed, or most of all: unaffordable}
[d] Use “zero-based budgeting” and none other,
• (thus, “baseline budgeting becomes retired,” the notion that spending always grows by formula is cast off, and budgets become managed),
[e] Cap below any prior outlay by 11.4%
• (thus, deflate built-in vicious overspending and reveal paths to rightful numbers, thereof, {BA} is really cut to less than before)
[F] Stipulate a sunset proviso, six years or less: an Authorization Bill gets six one year Appropriation Bills, then must be retired, there must be no automatic extension of funding, particularly after Authorization expires.
• (thus, refocus on rightful purpose, on felling the ‘run-on of heritage spending,’ and on opting out of piled up tyrannical law)
[g] take only tax revenues to be apportioned, divided, allocated, distributed, allotted, assigned, rationed, appropriated,
• (thus, when tax revenue is exhausted, so is appropriating.)
[h] Fervently weed out, Boondoggle, Ineffectiveness, Redundancies, or Duplications, the {BIRD}
• (thus, consequentially, ‘a Federal Entity is Reduced, or Retired, by Necessity,’ {a FERRN} ),
• Thus, give the {BIRD} {a FERRN}. America must not tolerate even the smallest of excesses or phony Appropriations.
• Thereof, an office of the {BIRD} needs to be ordained and established to do that job of {BIRD} watching & catching.
• Thereof, a compiled chronicle of {BIRDs} needs to be cataloged to thoroughly do many {a FERRN} & to so cease & desist perpetuating such waste.
• Thereof, civil servants must be involved; offered significant suggestion awards, and so whistle blower protected.
• Thereof, {BIRD} investigation & remedy need be thorough,
• Thereof, change must be made via forthcoming Rule changes or Amendment via Convention {AvC}, or both.
(OFS)
• All “Budget Authority” savings from {a FERRN}, must be dedicated to Federal Debt Reduction {FDR}.
• So, reducing overspending somewhere, claiming savings, and then overspend it elsewhere, is dishonesty. Obviously, no bankable tangibly funds, only deficit to be gone. {FDR} (OFS)
• “Each Appropriation Bill must prioritize every ‘Budget authority‘ {BA}” by code and so labeled.
• Thus, to create a predetermined fiscal ranking of orderliness to determine which spending is most vital and which is least.
• The top priorities must be given to those Appropriation Bills to which sole {BA} is for payments of debt, {SS}, military pay & deployment within the United States.
• And to formulate a system of measured ‘crunch time’ cuts to minimize harmfulness when borrowing is curtailed: not arbitrarily, nor presidentially chosen.
• Non essentials first: lower rank-7 spending ahead of rank-5, and so forth.
• Staff to be reduce to weekend or holiday levels, pay to be forfeited as unearned and not paid retroactively.
• Most recently created spending and outreach grants so retired as unaffordable.
• “Overspending is not a privilege, not a right, and not a vested authority.”
• Thereof, it must be so brought to law. Needs {AvC}
Oh:
• Now consider this: whopper Appropriation Bills must not to be; nor “clustered into incomprehensible Omnibus Bills” nor be part of a blanket ‘baseline’ “Continuing Resolution”.
• Now consider this: Spending has no reasonable fiscal control at such grandiose trillion dollar chunks.
• So consider this example: revenue of $2.6 Trillion would not be enough, so [OSAs] look to spend by notes & bonds.
• So, observe a pseudo or false budget battle is framed: a compromise appears between an increase of a noble 3.4% or an ignominious 5.0%.
• So, an agreed increased of 4.3% makes [OSAs] rave: cuts; compromisers brag: smaller governance, & tax payers cry ouch.
• Obvious fiscal sanity (OFS) compels a pro-active “broken windows theory” {BWT}, or Amendments via Convention {AvC}.
• Such dire false budget gamesmanship must not be considered governance at all. “And so brought to law”.
So:
• Thereof, consider this reasonable remedy: mandatory, constitutional, or a proper authorized budget would preclude ever reaching such ridiculous budgeting avoidances.
• Thereof, passing a Common Sense real budget, of caped single entity Bills must be the only option.
• Thereof, Congress’s Constitutional job must be performed: so under oath, so unitarily execute true budgets, totally righteous, without a shade of wrongfulness:
• Thereof, else expire {BA} and Congress persons: go home.
• Thereof, no more guesstimates, no more wondrous percentage changes, no more lies, just no more of that continuing unlawfulness. Needs {AvC}
What:
• • Each Appropriation Bill must be: (1) broadcast in the entirety, including open hearings & amendment proposals, (2) posted to the internet for the four working days prior to any vote for public discussion, (3) given a separate recorded vote, (4) footnoted by line item for authorship & sponsorship, and (5) fitted with a Standard Chart of Accounts and all that which would be needed to facilitate an I-pad plug-in. (6) so attached with a helpful summary list of all “Authorized Budgets,” I-pad readied.
To:
• “Federal labor unions, have become a powerful self-interested political block”. Unions have stepped out of their purview consistently moving against curbs on overspending and have been recipients of it. Yet, overspending needs remedy, no permissions asked, just deep down job downsizing and examination, entity reformation and updating, and imperatively many {a FERRN}. Thereby, unions must end internal & external power conflicts and patronage, by patriotically serving America. Mandates must be made null and void, that of which would recognize any labor union, a union status of any employee, or spoils thereof.
• • Personnel interviewers need make clear: the mission of federal workers is public service within the limits of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence to which they are subservient.
And not ever to have authority which perpetrates tyranny.
Richard Milhous Nixon, [37th] President of the United States,
“Any change is resisted because bureaucrats have a vested interest in the chaos in which they exist”.
• The Constitution of the United States,
• Article I Section 8 Clause 3–Powers of Congress: “No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed,” must be revisited to so notice;
• • that Executive branch {EB} entities: “Acronym Agencies of Tyranny” {AAT’s} exist,
• • that which write Law directly, in lieu of Congress,
• • that which makes current business activities criminal and
• • so consequently & retroactively, private property is forfeited and civil rights are violated.
• • so consider these Actions to be obviously unconstitutional and so prohibited: thus criminal.
• • so {AAT’s} own existence is, prima facie, not in Pursuance of the Constitutional “separation of powers,”
• • and so must be struck down and made null and void;
{no transferals nor remnants of unlawful duties}
• • “anything goes law making” cannot be found as a constitutional clause nor as an amendment;
Definitely, not in Article II, executive branch powers.
• • so consider this: “the common good” in traffic jams, is to allow cross-traffic and entry.
• • so consider this: “the common good” in governance; for “we the people” who love liberty; is “gridlock between originalists ways & progressives ways,” “government shutdown to keep current credit limit law inviolate,” and so no refund for unperformed work to government employees: those who preach“”tolerance & necessity for their tyrannical abuse”.
• • “government shutdown is only for those parts void of a constitutional appropriation Bill:
• • thereby, defunding contributions to: State budgets, local identities, foreign nations, occupational forces, foreign delegations, the UN, or waste; is specific.
Do: consider these peculiar abuses:
√ The Environmental Protection Agency, [EPA], for ruined enterprise & for treading harmfully on humans and their habitat.
√ The Internal Revenue Service [IRS], for daunting tax law, a “tyranny of the purse,” and a harassment of paperwork, unlawful search & seizure, false imprisonment, aka the American version of the WWII Gestapo.
√ The Food and Drug Administration [FDA], for armed attacks on small farms, de facto food supplement bans, and rogue activities
√ The Transportation Security Administration [TSA], for accosted & detained travelers, seized & searched property, for familiarity.
√ The National Labor Relations Board [NLRB], for not recognizing a worker’s “right to work,” an enterprises’ right to exist, work place democracy.
√ The Bureau of Land Management [BLM], for sequestered “Public lands,” & preventing Alaska’s land use.
√ The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, firearms and Explosives (ATF), for killing Americans & undermining the second amendment
√ The Department of Energy [DOE], for destroying job formation & preventing the expeditious use of energy.
√ The Federal Communications Commission [FCC], for attempts to “abridge the freedom of speech,” and mess with the internet & cells.
√ The Federal Election Commission [FEC], for the obstruction of State measures to stop the cheating & impairment of proper elections.
√ The Bureau of Labor Statistic [BLS], for gathered raw data distortedly, misleadingly reporting of it, & concealing what’s going on.
√ The National Security Agency {(NSA)} for collecting billions of phone records, texts, emails, Internet searches, and social media posts.
And:
√ √ The Department of Education [DE], must be retired by dire necessity for being “out of its authority,” & intruding on State’s and parent’s rights by circumventive intrigues. [DE] teaches no one, but controls the dumbing down of the next generation with its Common Corey Federal standards & data mining of student records & family data, ad infinitum. By the enriching of union power, and the making of a college education mostly unaffordable and soon to be unobtainable. There’s no State assistance clause in the Constitution.
√ The Congressional budget office [CBO], for meaningless fiscal propaganda, tax shortfalls, and overspending certainty
And then some:
• • Department of Transportation (DOT) • • Department of Labor (DOL) • • Department of Agriculture (USDA) • • Department of Commerce (DOC) • • Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) • • Department of Homeland Security (DHS) • • Federal Labor Relations Authority {FLRA} • • Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) • • The Surface Transportation Board (STB) • • Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) • • Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) • • Export-Import Bank of AD 1945 • • Veterans Health Administration (VHA) • • Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) • • Security Exchange Commission (SEC)

• • Independent Agencies
• • Government Corporations
• • Quasi-Official Agencies
• • Boards
• • Commissions
• • Committees
• • Federal Advisory Committees
• • Any other agency
• • All Federal registries that list: executive orders & “Rules and regulations,” {AAT’s} must be laid waste, save for the Smithsonian museum copies.
• • All “Budget Authority” savings from {a FERRN}, must be dedicated to Federal Debt Reduction {FDR}. Thomas Paine, American Revolution Patriot and Author of “Common Sense,” 1776
“Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil;
“In its worst state, an intolerable one”.
Such as to set it right:
• Bureaucrats must make their fair contribution. “Thereof, they must spend less, write nary a Rule nor law, and be fewer”. Planned new hires, any pay and benefit Increases, must be reset to zero. “Step 2 thru step 10″ and “Locality Pay” must be cancelled and rescinded, “Grade 14 and 15” must be cancelled and rescinded Bureaucrat’s pay must not exceed 90% of the private sector equivalent. No overtime, no accumulating of vacation or sick leave, no bonuses, and no paid conventions. No checks for empty or unnecessary hours. Health insurance & retirement funding must be co-pay. Old hires must be decreased responsibly by 38.75%. {RRR}
• • All “Budget Authority” savings from {a FERRN}, must be dedicated to Federal Debt Reduction {FDR}.
• The State Department must make its fair contribution. ‘State’ has become hugely officious: an overstaffed information gathering and paper shuffling group, offering services no longer useful, {not valuable in a despotic world and in direct conflict with CIA operations;;} by a mostly unmanageable diverse group. Thereof, must be parred over 74%; 7 under secretaries and 49 bureaus need be cut and reorganized under one secretary. Significant technological advances and work duplication reductions must be applied. Foreign Service must be reduced to but allies and safe zones; and diplomacy by money “assistance” must stop. ”Class 1 & 2 & 3″ pay rates cancelled or rescinded. 16 missions must be cut to a handful. Certain Diplomatic missions in enemy zones, not riot readied, must be drawn down. No one needs be killed in Foreign Service. Marine Corps protectors must be fully readied to successfully defend American life and Sovereignty. {RRR}
• • All “Budget Authority” savings from {a FERRN}, must be dedicated to Federal Debt Reduction {FDR}.
{s/b over $40 billion}
• Political appointees must make their fair contribution. Thereof, pay must be no more than “Grade 14 level 5” and without “Locality Pay”. Pay must be reduced to time served. Work area & duties must be observable. {RRR}
• • All “Budget Authority” savings, must be dedicated to Federal Debt reduction {FDR}
• • Thereof, those who have passed the Bar or have so prepared: whose behaviors support the Executive Branch making Law, creating Crimes, or creating criminals: damn Article I Article II or Article III; must be discharged from any governmental service. Such current misbehavior beckons for true Constitutional Lawyers: confessed stalwart Originalists whose reality and personal oath abides by the Constitution.
Thomas Jefferson, 3rd United States President
“Experience has shown, that even under the best forms of government
those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations,
perverted it into tyranny”
• Congresspersons must make their fair contribution.
• The Constitution of the United States,
• Article I Section 6 The Senators and Representatives shall receive a Compensation for their Services, to be ascertained by Law, and paid out of the Treasury of the United States.
“Thereof, they must receive less, service more, and take and spend very much less”. So, their base pay must be reset and stayed at $113,726, perquisites eliminated, special benefits paid for via a reduction of base pay or else personally prepaid. Outside earnings must be taken to base pay as a deduction. After eleven years of service, pay must be agreed to be $1. When time of service ends, of course, all remuneration ends. Traditional overseas junkets, galas, or excess privileges, must be reimbursed or ‘self-paid’. Peripatetic ways must give way to that of performing the representative job which they have been so chosen. A Failure to pass Constitutionally authorized budgets, must have imposable ‘nonfeasance penalties’. Staff appointment levels must be down 20% and pared equally among representatives and frozen. {RRR}
• • All “Budget Authority” savings, must be dedicated to Federal Debt reduction {FDR}.
• The “office of the President” expense accounts must make a fair contribution. Thereof, the {BA} of the “Maison du Roi” must be similarly pared by 46%, aka staff and indulgences. “Air force One” and the ‘first lady’s’ office must have {BA} withheld until borrowing is not needed or be paid by contributions. State dinners and live entertainment must be cancelled or paid for by supporters. Automobile fleets must be set to zero, except when safety is at issue. Air travel must be curtailed to true vitalness. {RRR}
• • All “Budget Authority” savings, must be dedicated to Federal Debt reduction {FDR}.
• So, assets must be held for but utilitarian values. For only those purposes of ‘necessary & proper’. Thus, not to hold power over others, or to be a detracting part of the “free market,” or to be tools of tyranny. Thereby, not to exist by the power of borrowing.
• Thereof, each such expendable asset, must be negotiated for sale. Nary a giveaway Such as: overseas arsenals, lands, buildings, furnishings, “Enterprise type activities,” items in storage. No investments, land purchases, remodeling, or asset expenditures till debt be paid. {RRR}
• • All proceeds must be dedicated to Federal Debt reduction {FDR}.
| Such as to set it right:
• • Each “discretionary account” of any size, as that of: a [1] ‘Slush Fund,’ a [2] ‘blank check’; or a [3] ‘non chronicled set aside lump sum, used at will by anonymous bureaucrats, for about anything’; must not be appropriated. Or once appropriated, “Budget authority” {BA} must promptly be reset to zero. Not an expenditure to be ever unknown, only to be condemned after the fact. “Such rogue looting of the Treasury for buying favors and votes,”must be so brought to law”. • • All funds from “penalties or other such non tax receipts,” must be dedicated to “Federal Debt Reduction” {FDR}, never again to be set aside as a ‘Slush Fund’. • • Federal management of “private funds,” “direct loans,” or “loan guarantees,” must cease and desist and be surrendered to business mavens, the natural realm for growing the American economy. “Such intervening must not be considered governance at all”. The Constitution of the United States: • Article I Section 8 Clause 11-12-13-14-15 “The Congress shall have Power 6: ” To raise and support Armies, navies, militias.
• • Thereof, there is not a vested clause for bureaucratic police forces nor bureaucratic crime making; States have retained the Policing powers and legislatures the law making. • • Thereof, consider this: Armies and Navies are for War; the Militias are for executing homeland security; and armed bureaucrats are but the secret persecutors of the ruling class cabal’s despotism. • • Thereof, each “federal enforcement assembly of armed bureaucrats” must not be, and as such, must be disarmed & forgone. “And must so be brought to law”. Those agencies ‘appropriated,’ but currently un-‘authorized,’ must be disbanded. {fired} • • The US Marshals Service or the National Guard needs be consulted “when death is on the line”. • • And each {EB} entity that has stockpiled ammunition, must be dismantled and be {a FERRN} • • So consider this: Not ever to be a “Siege & massacre” aka: “Ruby Ridge AD 1992,” not ever to be a “Waco invasion AD 1993“. Not ever armed bureaucrats to war on “we the people,” aka ” murders @Kent State AD 1970“. • • Thereof, all arms & all rounds of ammunition must be put to sale or destroyed, no stockpiles, and so bureaucrats never to have such {BA} again. • • All proceeds must be dedicated to Federal Debt reduction {FDR}. • Henceforth, “We the People” of America need purposely go where Americans have boldly gone before, to the ‘land of liberty,’ so maintained by federalism, as begun by the ‘founding brothers’ in AD 1789, • So, “We the People” of America must rid America of a century of tyranny by centralized governance committing constitutional abuses and misconstructions and supported by an imaginative illiterate Supreme Court, • Henceforth, progressive days of rule must be totally numbered. • So, to return leverage to “We the People” of each State and make America a great union of 50 republics again.
