Third, aggressively cut budgets for all federal programs. Eliminate federal programs and agencies that were power grabs from the states. Let the states administer local programs to suit their needs, not some one size fits all federal approach.

Fourth, start paying down the federal debt.

Once that's done, cut taxes to the point necessary to fund the smaller federal government.

Then work on legal reform to get rid of a bunch of laws that make it difficult to do business in this country. I'd start by eliminating class action lawsuits.
