departments? I think it would be possible to increase military preparedness while reducing defense spending. Look at how Musk has done more with Space-X.
I'm not sure what is planned for entitlements. Fixing the border and sending a lot of illegal immigrants home could have a pretty big impact on reducing what the government would have spent on entitlements vs what will actually be spent.
I don't know how feasible it is to eliminate the IRS and fund the government through tariffs, etc., but that would eliminate a ton of bureaucracy and expense as well.
If they can spawn significant growth in GDP that could also reduce some entitlement spending while increasing revenues, reducing the deficit in the process.
Time will tell how things play out. We're obviously just speculating on possibilities at this point.
