      really?

      • escape accountability for the epstein files

      • make himself rich

      • make his buddies rich

      Starve the Beast. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starve_the_beast

      It started as an idea under Reagan in the 80’s. Bankrupt the country so policies that Republicans don’t like can be removed under the excuse of austerity.

        I think besides the grift this is the other big reasoning behind the scenes. This is why Congress does nothing, because killing all these departments/grants that promote well being and diversity are an affront to their bigoted worldview.
