Ron DeSantis \u2064Aims to Slash Bureaucracy and Boost Accountability<\/h2>\n<p>Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL)\u200d is on a mission to shake up the \u2062federal\u2063 government and reduce the \u200bburden of bureaucracy. In\u2063 a \u2064recent interview on \u2062CNBC&#8217;s Last Call, the Florida governor and Republican presidential candidate \u2063expressed his determination to cut the\u200d &#8220;footprint of all agencies in \u2063D.C. by 50%&#8221;.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re \u200cgonna take all the executive orders and the regulations that \u2064Biden has done\u2063 and we\u2019re going to rip them out. We\u2019re going to let the economy function again. Our goal is going to\u200d be to reduce\u2062 the\u200c footprint\u200d of all agencies\u200d in D.C. by 50%,&#8221; DeSantis declared.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>DeSantis believes that excessive regulations\u200b imposed by administrative agencies\u200c have hindered economic growth.

Congress has \u2064given so much \u2062power to the bureaucracy,\u200c and it exercises this power over us,&#8221; DeSantis\u2063 explained.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>DeSantis believes that reducing\u2062 the size and influence of agencies\u2062 will restore power to the people and promote self-government.
