President Trump Signs Executive Order to Further Shrink the Federal Government
SHRINKING THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT: Today, President Donald J. Trump took a significant step in reducing the size of the Federal Government by signing an Executive Order aimed at enhancing accountability, reducing waste, and promoting innovation.
- The Order targets unnecessary governmental entities and Federal advisory committees, with the goal of eliminating or reducing them to the minimum level of activity and expenditure required by law.
- Within the next 30 days, a comprehensive list of additional unnecessary government entities and advisory committees will be submitted to the President for termination.
Promoting Efficiency and Accountability
REDUCING GOVERNMENT OVERREACH: President Trump’s Executive Order aligns with his Administration’s policy of reducing the size of the Federal Government while increasing accountability to the American people.
- The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has already identified significant waste, fraud, and abuse within the government.
- By cutting unnecessary governmental entities and Federal advisory committees, taxpayer dollars will be saved, unnecessary spending reduced, and government priorities streamlined.
- This reduction in the Federal footprint will empower local communities and state governments by returning power to them.
Reforming the Federal Bureaucracy
REFORMING THE FEDERAL BUREAUCRACY: President Trump’s commitment to draining the swamp and ending ineffective government programs is evident in his recent actions.
- The government’s wasteful spending on duplicative programs and frivolous expenditures that do not align with American values or address the needs of the American people is a key issue being addressed.
- The elimination of the Federal Executive Institute, a program focused on bureaucratic leadership training, and the temporary pause on foreign aid to certain organizations and contractors demonstrate a commitment to ensuring taxpayer dollars support American values.
- The establishment of the Department of Government Efficiency, the 10-to-1 deregulation initiative, and other actions taken by President Trump are all aimed at streamlining the Federal Government, eliminating unnecessary programs, and reducing bureaucratic inefficiency.
- President Trump’s efforts are focused on restoring efficiency and accountability in the Federal Government, in line with his promise to the American people.
