Don't fund it.

Trust me, the bureaucrats will not show up for free.

You're sick of a lack of focus in the security agencies?

Cut their budget?

30%, 40%.

You'll get their attention, and you'll get rid of a lot of bad eggs.

The amount of fraud.

And so we're seeing incompetence, even evil.

And these institutions, imagine how much fraud there is in all the health care transfer payments, in Social Security, in Medicare, in Medicaid.

Those are still some of our most expensive things that we spend money on every year.

It's what's bankrupting us as a country.

And it's just blowing out everywhere.

You can't even imagine the amount of corruption there.

I think you're seeing some states that have people a bit more aware of just how bad it is.

But if you think the state of Virginia, if it was a standalone state, would have a GDP the size or larger than Austria.

Texas is going to be one of the fourth or fifth largest economies in the world.

I think Florida is right up there too.

California, huge.

If the federal government suddenly in America got really, really much smaller, that's not the worst thing.

Abbott was slow in taking action in Texas.
