They need to wipe the slate.
If today they whacked EPA, OSHA, CAFE standards, and all these restrictive work and production related regulators. The government would be relieved of Billions in debt - because paying for that mess is debt and immediately all fabrication and production would be relieved of regulation. There would be an incalculable boom, money would be in circulation, people would be working and $$$$ would be pouring into the treasury without being spilled to the vampires.
We would be awash in jobs, cheap energy, and multiples of goodies to buy and sell here and abroad. The retentives must be separated from control.
