Trump: bye bye Commerce & Energy, hello save 10 Trillion

Listen to  Trump’s  Inaugural address — it may be bye bye time for Departments of Commerce and Energy

—  so says The Hill.com

And it’s time to save $10 TRILLION dollars over the next ten years.   Now that’s a campaign promise worth keeping.

Since 1995 there have been attempts to eliminate the Department of Commerce.  

According to Hill.com Trump’s plan is to save 10 TRILLION over the next ten years.

Vought and Gray, who both worked for the Heritage Foundation, are laying the groundwork for  Trump’s so-called skinny budget — a 175- to 200-page document that will spell out the main priorities of the incoming Trump administration, along with summary tables. That document is expected to come out within 45 days of Trump taking office.

The administrationâ€s full budget, including appropriations language, supplementary materials and long-term analysis, is expected to be released toward the end of Trumpâ€s first 100 days in office, or by mid- to late April.

Trump’s plans are based on Heritage Foundation ‘think tank’ ideas how to cut the debt.

Here’s 100+ ways that the Heritage Foundation says will reduce the budget.

What about the cost of illegal immigrants?  When will that be addressed?

Perry, Trump’s pick for the Department of Energy,  no longer thinks that the department should be eliminated.  Of course, that would get rid of Perry’s new job!

What to do about the Energy Department?  How  about re-organize it and remove those  employees who are convinced that climate changes are largely man made?  Trump’s transition team has tried – unsuccessfully – to get a list of employees who have worked on climate change initiatives.
