He wants to deport millions. He wants to make our military larger. he wants more law and order. He wants massive spending on infrastructure. he wants to repeal and REPLACE Obamacare.
Where has he offered to cut government?
**************
Deporting people here illegally may be an ethical or moral conundrum for some folks, but enforcing US immigration law isn't an overreach, and if it keeps millions from being on the public dole in innumerable ways, it's a reduction of govt in the long run.
Making the military stronger may or may not imply larger budget. I'm watching this one. Trump wants NATO allies to pay their way and reduce US expenditures for global protection, basically.
"he wants more law and order" - well, i'm not sure the case you've made for expanding govt here. that's a vague notion.
repeal and replace - pretty sure he isn't planning to make a larger federal investment in health care.
his published plan:
Repeal and Replace
Obamacare Act
Fully repeals Obamacare and replaces it with Health Savings
Accounts, the ability to purchase health insurance across
state lines and lets states manage Medicaid funds. Reforms
will also include cutting the red tape at the FDA: there are
over 4,000 drugs awaiting approval, and we especially want
to speed the approval of life-saving medications.
Other:
reduce size of IRS
reduce or eliminate DoEd possibly greatly reduce EPA, Energy, other federal agencies
US contributions to various global environmental groups
AGain, we'll see what he does. I'll render judgment when it does, but I think you're talking mainly in vague generalities and speculation.
