Bureaucratic Tyranny in Trump's Crosshairs
American Thinker ^ | November 21, 2016 | Karin McQuillan

Posted on 11/21/2016 3:34:06 AM PST by Kaslin

Federal bureaucrats have been in a frenzy of activity in Obama's last months of office, pushing through 4,000 new regulations that will cost consumers more than $100 million. As liberal website Politico proudly reported, "Obama's executive agencies are intent on pushing through the president's priorities without congressional interference[.]"

Trump has promised to rein in our overreaching bureaucracy through attrition. His rival in the primaries, Jeb Bush, suggested three bureaucrats retire for each new hire. That might save some money, but it will not get the job done of ending corruption and bureaucratic tyranny.

We have elected a man famous for two words: "You're fired!" For Trump to legalize that simple act, as necessary in the government as in business, will be nothing less than a revolution.

We have a VA that purposely lets vets die without medical care.

We have an EPA at war with the energy industry.

The Department of Education threatens public schools with loss of federal funds and mandates progressive lies about American history, teaching generations of schoolchildren to be ashamed of America and ignorant of our Constitution and our forefathers. Universities are forced by the DOJ to hire feminist and racialist thought police under an Obama bureaucrat's interpretation of the Civil Rights Act.

Trump needs to take aim at the "delegation" horror story.

BACKSTORY---Obama was photoed signing "immigration memos" on AF One--not "executive orders." Why? B/c an E/O comes w/ legal baggage that the conniving Boobamba wanted to evade. Both "memos" are on the White house website.

Boobamba's "memos" empowered the secretaries of State and Homeland Securityin consultation with the director of the Office of Management and Budget, the director of the National Economic Council, the assistant to the president for homeland security and counterterrorism, the director of the Domestic Policy Council, the director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy, the attorney general, and the secretaries of Agriculture, Commerce, Labor and Education.

Read more at http://www.wnd.com/2014/12/amnesty-shocker-the-secret-behind-obamas-order/#4OPdzIoJFRwXopUU.99

====================================================

The scam works this way: signed Boobamba memos "delegate" to federal agencies orders to come up with plans (that patriots recognize as advancing Boobamba's global conspiracy to overthrow the US govt w/ Third World federales and their cadres jumping the US border).

The federal agencies then "invent" Committees to do this (the better to overthrow the US govt). Then "Administrative Rules," after a comment period, will be published in the "Code of Federal Regulations," which magically turns them into law........ using federal fairy dust.

So Boobamba is shielded from responsibility---he doesn't have to take the hit. Behind closed doors, he tells federal factotums what he wants.....and faster than you can say "the combo plate w/ extra hot sauce".....the overthrow of the US govt commences.

=====================================================

THE "DELEGATION" HORROR STORY--A Federal agency MO since 1946. It's down to a science: (1) publish a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), (2) make the comment period really short, (3) stonewall any negative comments, and, (4) publish the rule, which (5) NOW has the force of US law. No Congressman was ever involved, and Boobamba doesn't leave his DNA on it. Yet again, why "Delegation" is ominous for liberty---why the writing of administrative law by federal agencies - is un-Constitutional (hat tip to FReeper Regulator.)

Thanks, Liz.

I’m always impressed by your posts. There are so many layers to this runaway tyranny that it will take years to tear it out ... root and branch its all got to go.

With Trump it just might get done. Or at least a good start.

Very good comment to a very good article in the original post. Nearly a zero chance that Trump haters can hearing what you are saying, so occupied are their puppet minds by the need to protest and display their outrage.
Other good words to convey the point are Apparatchik, Nomenklatura, and Mandarin — but whenever I use them I find I must give a history lesson to the college educated person with whom I am speaking.

It’s becoming more apparent that Obama is trying to punish Trump and white America for rejecting his “hope and change” socialism. I hope Trump rescinds everyone of his new regulations the first week in addition to Obamacare.

Back in the late sixties I worked as a sub carrier for the postal service. The letter carriers union was setting up routes based on each carriers foot speed, how many gates, stairs, dogs etc. I’d carry most routes in half the time but couldn’t go back to the barn early. So we drank for two or three hours.

I am highly educated, and you would have to explain the term "Mandarin" to me--I thought that was a language spoken in China.

postal service......another government “department” no longer necessary that wastes tons of taxpayer money. privatize it with some laws ensuring mail gets delivered etc.....

fedex, ups, dhl will have a feast. I’m sure lots of small localized companies would be created to compensate for the “loss” of the postal service.

DRAIN THE SWAMP

Socialism does not empower minorities any more than it empowers white people. Socialism does not care about skin color--it is an equal opportunity destroyer.

It is not just "white America" that suffers under socialism. *Everyone* suffers.

Perhaps one of the issues we need to face is the fact that the Democrat party has so successfully linked freedom and opportunity to race, and then used the bogeyman of racism to turn minorities against freedom and for serfdom.

Yeah, Hillary's team has no clue. Their post-graduate degrees are in (gag) useful areas like:
Gender Identity, Climate Change Kills, Quinoa Changed My Life and Men Are Scum.

-—No Congressman was ever involved-—

Well, not exactly.

In the case of the EPA, Congress directed the agency to develop rules that are written to authorize regulations. The congress actually developed the process you describe and is actually culpable for the results

Oh yeah....I sure do love reading about all the culpable Congressman taking responsibility for the results (/sarc).

> Socialism does not empower minorities any more than it empowers white people. Socialism does not care about skin color--it is an equal opportunity destroyer.

but it can be used as a tool when you are aware that more white are in the work force to pay for those problems and then hand out even more entitlements to minorities than white recipients which I have seen firsthand and have been also told about. Go to the Department of Human Services and look over the counter into the room. If you're like me, I saw a sea of minority employees and very few white employees. And I have heard from not only my own family members but many other people who tried to receive benefits after they lost their employment that the benefits were so low they didn't even file a claim. Do I think prejudice in the decision making process was a factor. Yes, I do.

So maybe my experiences are different than yours but I will agree to disagree when the playing field is not so level in terms of specific extraneous factors as it seems in this regard.

My objection to doing away with the Postal Service is the requirement that they deliver mail. UPS, FEDEX, DHL has no such requirement. THey are also required to have a presence in many places for convenience not for profit.

I propose that the required services could be bid out every few years using existing facilities and subsidized at a lower cost that it operates today. Future post offices should be built by the states and local communities with the required approval as specified in the Constitution by Congress. THe constitution does not require Congress to pay for such construction.

A subsidy for certain types of mail could be built into the contracts.

I do not nor have I or any of my family ever worked for the postal service.

I hear ya.....I’ve thought of those things myself. But in 2016 I’m sure we can come up with some kind of system that ensures that every household receives mail items somehow with a few laws & regs and also ensuring that companies can remain profitable.

As a lifelong philatelist, I would hate to see US postage stamps go away....but thats life.

It’s time to drain the swamp DRY.

A very true situation you were in. And you were a sub working a route that you might not have known that well.

I became a letter carrier in 1970 for the old Post Office Dept. and was there when they became the Postal Service in '71.

I became a regular so had my own route. I once finished my route at 10:30am, but was stuck "on-the-clock" until 3 pm.

When the rural carriers finished, they could go home. Instead, I had to find places (several different spots) where I could take a 30-minute Lunch break(s) and use the time to study for my college classes I was taking in the evening.

We could talk about those old times.
