“President Obama hired hundreds of additional public relations employees to sell his administration’s policies, at a total cost to taxpayers of nearly half a billion dollars a year...”

If the staff was illegally hired or the money illegally spent, Trump can order these fascist drones to repay the federal government (you and me, the taxpayers).

I assume these are public affairs staff in the various agencies. They field calls from the public and press, generate the endless stream of press releases announcing what agencies are doing, prepare annual reports, etc. I don’t know what the appropriate staffing level is; one would need to get down in the weeds, agency by agency, and see what the workload might be. If Obama dramatically increased staffing, I assume this was just one more effort to seed the bureaucracy with reliable leftists, but that said, the work itself is pretty straightforward.

Paul (blank check) Ryan is useless as a Speaker/Congressman.
