Privatization serves two critical functions in this plan: (1) it generates approximately $4 trillion in one-time revenue to finance the entitlement buyout during Years 1–4, and (2) it permanently removes expenses from the federal budget, ensuring the 10% NST revenue covers all remaining obligations. This is not ideological — it is structural. The math requires it.
National Parks & U.S. Forest Service
Sell to businesses or transfer to states. Private operators have access to capital for infrastructure improvements and can manage parks more efficiently while maintaining public access through lease requirements.
United States Postal Service
Sell the USPS. FedEx, UPS, and Amazon already handle the majority of package delivery. Private carriers will absorb mail volume at market rates.
Bureau of Land Management
Sell all 247.3 million acres of BLM land across 12 western states. This is the single largest asset liquidation in the plan and a significant contributor to the $4 trillion target.
Federal Lending Programs
Sell all student loans, home loans, and SBA loans to private financial institutions. The federal government has no business being a lender — it distorts markets and creates moral hazard.
Department of Education
Eliminate the $70 billion annual expense. Education is a state responsibility. Commerce, Energy, IRS, and EPA will be reduced 50–90%.
Foreign Military Bases
Either charge foreign governments the full cost of services provided (estimated at 21.5% markup), or sell bases to local governments. The U.S. should not subsidize other nations' defense.
Transportation & Fuel Tax
Combine federal fuel taxes with state taxes and transfer to state control. States will manage their own roads and infrastructure — they are closer to the need and more accountable to their residents.
Airports & Amtrak
Sell all airports and Amtrak to private operators. Maintain a small FAA for safety oversight only.
Government Buildings
Sell buildings from closing departments outright, or execute sale-leaseback arrangements where continued occupancy is needed during the transition.
Education Technology
Education reform extends beyond the federal level. The core idea: move learning to tablet-based platforms with video lectures from top educators, electronic homework, and testing that allows students to learn at their own pace. For the full education reform proposal, see the State Government page.
