Fat
There is usually fat on meat, and it has to be trimmed. Too much fat cut off leaves a less tasty flavor. So the right amount must be cut …some but not all.
We all know there is much fat in government and that the fat also has to be removed to attain the goals of a functioning government.
Just as trust and verification go hand in hand, I believe trim and verify before a department is gutted.
Just as too much fat is destructive in the human body, retaining a small amount will keep you healthy.
Rome wasn’t built in a day and if our cuts are done carefully, we can mitigate the opposition's resistance.
Cutting fat is one thing but cutting out graft should be 100%.
