This country, or I should better say, its leaders and pundits has lost it will.
“Official Washington” is hopelessly corrupt, and scared to death that America is catching on. Its denizens know that they are wildly overpaid compared to the rest of the country, for doing vastly less work. Many of the agencies they work for — particularly departments like the EPA and the DOE — are ridiculously unnecessary. These tax-eaters know the country could get along perfectly well without three-quarters of them.
Trump scares the crap out of the whole socialist criminal enterprise.
