> administrative state (created during FDR) is going away

Created by FDR through acts of the Congress. DOGE is ironically recapitulating the lawlessness that tanked Sourh Africa’s economy.

Also, we’re seeing a breathless expansion of federal executive power. The administrative state isn’t going away. It’s being subsumed. The size of the government is being increased, not decreased—that’s why the GOP budget calls for $2 trillion in new deficits over ten years.

One can celebrate cost cutting. But other than USAID, there is no sign anything durable is being done. The power of the central government is being expanded in ways that should be obviously problematic for anyone thinking ahead: next cycle, a Dem President can just cancel student debts by firing everyone in loan collections and shredding the loan documents.

This sort of condescension is characteristic of people who hold the opinions you do. The rest of your post is complete nonsense.

Ok. Doesn't matter. We took power and you're gonna stew for the next 4 to 12 years while not getting your way. Sucks, kiddo.
