The fox has reported that there are no chickens missing and the stock is perfectly safe. In fact, the fox says we don't need all this fence around the coops either, we should stop putting up fence and increase the budget to buy more chickens, for the children.

They already know there is huge waste.......they are expecting mass lay-offs. lol

Canada will be doing this when the next Conservative gov’t comes into power, which will be sooner than people think.

This is just a “review”

No mention if anything will actually be done about it.

[Mr. K]

Next order full government review of voter fraud.

Reagan had the Grace Commission identify government waste and areas where they could cut spending. The report noted a ton of places where money was being tossed into the wind.

It ran into the concrete wall of politics and died instantly.

Simple. Most everything,mainly members of Congress.

Did they just admit the EPA is abusing massive amounts of funds? Or that massive numbers of EPA employees are a waste?

The reports will be returned stating: “No change.”

Cut everyone’s salary by a third.

I wasn’t sure what is in the EO the Prez signed yesterday. It’s spelled out on this FR thread - note that the EO provides a chance for the public to provide input (section 2(b)).
