Had to do both at the same time. Selective reductions coupled with strategies to minimize impact, such as consolidating functions and maximizing physical plant to perform mission AND eliminated entire programs as they were cost prohibitive.
As difficult as it was some real creativity and self-directed initiative emerged
Thanks for the input.
We need you to go advise President Trump on government reduction to make MAGA (I have some suggestions when you do)

Jesus rose again in only 3 days, but it took the national debt 8 years.

It does stop. But presidents often have to face assassination attempts when they try to/actually do make it stop. Lincoln and Jackson being prime examples. Ponzi schemes have an ending, but it is usually with the complete debasement of society and ends with literally Hitler.
Lincoln's greenback was a great example. Jackson also stopped the central bank and paid the debt back.

When will you idiots realize
No one in this thread gets it
BANKS AND USURERS own our government and our politicians.
The banks benefit from debt ceiling hikes and never ending debt.
We must defeat the banks and usurers or nothing will ever change.
It will take a revolt of Americans.
The thing is any country who has taken on the banks the past 100 years has ended up getting destroyed. Germany. Afghanistan. Iraq. So its almost a suicide mission.

The National Debt number is misleading.

quote:
The U.S. debt is $19.9 trillion. Most headlines focus on how much the United States owes China, which is one of the largest foreign owners. What many people don’t know is that the Social Security Trust Fund, aka your retirement money, owns most of the national debt. How does that work, and what does it mean?
Intragovernmental Holdings. This is the federal debt owed to 230 other federal agencies. It totals $5.554 trillion, almost 30 percent of the debt. Why would the government owe money to itself? Some agencies, like the Social Security Trust Fund, take in more revenue from taxes than they need. Rather than stick this cash under a giant mattress, they buy U.S. Treasurys with it.
Social Security (Social Security Trust Fund and Federal Disability Insurance Trust Fund) - $2.801 trillion
Office of Personnel Management Retirement - $888 billion
Military Retirement Fund - $670 billion
Medicare (Federal Hospital Insurance Trust Fund, Federal Supplementary Medical Insurance Trust Fund) - $294 billion
All other retirement funds - $304 billion
Cash on hand to fund federal government operations - $580 billion.
Debt Held by the Public. This is the rest of the national debt, totaling $14.403 trillion. Foreign governments and investors hold nearly half of the nation's public debt. One-fourth is held by other governmental entities. These include the Federal Reserve, as well as state and local governments. Fifteen percent is held by mutual funds, private pension funds, savings bonds or individual Treasury notes. The remaining 10 percent is owned by businesses, like banks and insurance companies, and an assortment of trusts, companies, and investors. Here's the breakdown:
Foreign - $6.281 trillion
Federal Reserve - $2.463 trillion
Mutual funds - $1.379 trillion
State and local government, including their pension funds - $874 billion
Private pension funds - $544 billion
Banks - $570 billion
Insurance companies - $304 billion
U.S. savings bonds - $169 billion
As you can see, if you add up the debt held by Social Security and all the retirement and pension funds, nearly half of the U.S. Treasury debt is held in trust for your retirement. If the United States defaults on its debt, foreign investors would be angry, but current and future retirees would be hurt the most.

Are you defining "usury" as the charging of interest or something?

Banks lending money is usury?

No
Not all banks are bad
But the big banks are. I.E. Goldman Sachs.
Usurers generally get kicked out of countries, based on history.
There is fair lending, and then there is predatory lending who go out of their way to take advantage of people. Then these banks buy politicians to help further and protect their usury - see Bill Clinton and the Affordable Housing Act, for example.
History shows that politicians who have taken on the banks have been taken out - JFK, Hitler, Saddam Hussein are 3 examples.

How?
Usury is how certain groups of people maintain and exercise control over a populace
The federal reserve is a great example of state sponsored usury. It's heavily guarded and no one is allowed to audit it or do anything about it. Only a certain number of people are allowed to run the treasury department and chair the federal reserve. They have to be handpicked and approved by the chief usury officers basically.
