The reason most Americans oppose Trump for cutting back the federal government is they believe these programs are essential. Just before I cam on the air to talk to you, I was with a group having bagels and coffee at a condo in Atlantic City. And most of the people at my table were saying, "Oh, I've never seen such turmoil. Trump is wrecking the government. How could Trump possibly be doing that?"
But if you knew the details, then you'd have a different view. And a lot of those details are posted at libertyandprosperity.com. So far, Trump, has cut the USAID budget. People are saying, oh, it's so horrible. How could you be against helping poor people overseas.
Trump made cuts in the Department of Education. People are saying, "How can Trump cut back education?"  So far, Trump did not even touch the Department of Agriculture. However, we can see that waste right here in South Jersey.
The US Department of Agriculture was established by President Lincoln in 1862 to protect farmers during the disruption of the Civil War. He wanted to protect their income from ups and downs in the market. He wanted to protect the soil from erosion. He wanted to help them sell their crops overseas.
But what is the U.S. Department spending money on in New Jersey today? Just look at our post at USDA Gives Stockton Another $500,000 To Market $6,666 Per Gallon Maple Syrup - Liberty and Prosperity
For the past five years, Stockton University has gotten a million dollars from the US Department of Agriculture for its maple syrup program. What did it do with that million dollars? They were studying whether it's feasible to produce maple syrup in South Jersey. Over the past five years, they spent a million dollars and produced 150 gallons of maple syrup. That comes to $6,667 per gallon, That is a very expensive way to learn that making maple syrup is just not practical in South Jersey. It costs less than $35 per gallon to make maple syrup in Wisconsin, Vermont, Maine, and the Poconos of Pennsylvania. Why is it so much cheaper to make maple syrup up there? Why is it so expensive to make it down here? 
Very simple. It's the weather. Maple trees only produce lots of sap for sugar when you have a whole lot of days where it's freezing at night and thaws out in the daytime. You have those weather conditions in the Poconos, Vermont, Wisconsin and Maine. But you don't have that weather here in South Jersey. So that's why it takes nearly $7,000 to make a gallon of maple syrup here. 
You would think the Department of Agriculture would say, okay. We spent a million dollars, and now we know it doesn't pay to make maple syrup down here. But no. They just reported in the Press of Atlantic City last week that the US Department of Agriculture gave Stockton a new half a million dollar grant to market that South Jersey maple syrup. 
So, I guess you could ask, Vince Mazzeo if he could sell some of that maple syrup at Masseo's Market in Northfield. He can't sell it for cost, He'd have to mark it up to $8,000 a gallon to make a profit. So Mazzeo's could put South Jersey maple syrup up for sale at $1,000 a pint.
Anyway, this is the type of stuff that President Trump and Elon Musk are doing away with.  They have to do it. Congress would never  get rid of this stuff because, you're hiring your friends and your relatives at these projects at Stockton College.
Let me give you another example. The US Department of Agriculture has a rural electrification program. t sounds like a good idea to think, "Oh, These poor farmers in the middle of South Dakota need help to get electric lights. We've got to help the poor farmers get electricity".
