“EXCLUSIVE: A 40-minute compilation of President Bill Clinton and Vice President Al Gore cutting the federal workforce, eliminating agencies, slashing wasteful spending and regulations, and reducing the deficit.

You know, like Trump, Musk, and DOGE.

🔹 In his first weeks, Clinton ordered a 100,000-job reduction in government.
🔹 Over eight years, he cut 380,000 federal jobs—a 16% decrease.
🔹 This was largely driven by the Reinventing Government Initiative (RIGO), spearheaded by Gore to streamline operations and reduce bureaucracy.
🔹 The result? The deficit was erased, and the U.S. ran a budget surplus for the first time in decades.

Today, annual interest payments on the national debt have doubled in four years, reaching $1.17 trillion—now exceeding the entire U.S. defense budget.

America is $36 trillion in debt.

History proves it can be done. The real question: Will D.C. Democrats and activists judges get out of the way so @realDonaldTrump, @elonmusk, and @DOGE can do it again?”
