>> The “Drain the Swamp’ is not original,
I believe Pelosi said this before becoming speaker of the house. Jerry Doyle uses the phrase all the time.
“Drain the Swamp”
I am sure the phrase is much older than Pelosi. And I did not know who Jerry Doyle was. (NY conservative talk radio commentator) That shows my lack of knowledge in that part of the nation. (NE)
My thoughts on extending the purscription is:
1. DownSize DC.
2. Eliminate entire departments (start with Education and EPA).
3. Move the worthwhile functions back to the States.
4. Force Congress & Senate to telecommute most of the year from their home district, away from the lobbyists.
This would change the center-of-gravity of government.
Texas Legislature meets every 2 years unless called into Special Session. It has worked well for us.
