"massively reduce spending" - and right there is your problem.  A substantial percentage of that spending goes to  השרים ("the officials"/administrative state/deep state) .  Similar problem to endless unconstitutional wars.  All that money funding both sides to kill each other siphons back to support American families in the Shadow of Mordor and Defense Industry areas. 

 I'd love to get rid of all spending, but pragmatically you can't just shut it off in one day.  You have to have a process to eliminate it.  I was giving a pragmatic process for reducing in hopes of getting rid of it all. 

 To get rid of said nonsense, you need to stop the usury (and certain people shall not stop committing it).
