HEAD'S UP! - c/o the OMNIBUS, WELCOME TO THE NEW TRUMP ERA UNDER THE HOLMAN RULE!

You know the SES AKA deep state / shadow government? THE RATS?

----------------------------------




----------------------------------

I've not confirmed this fully + absolutely yet - somebody please do - but it's now being said that the OMNIBUS negotiated by POTUS (with DEMocRATS ROFL!) included and broadly adopted the Holman Rule!

NOW from last year SEE: House Republicans revive obscure rule that allows them to slash the pay of individual federal workers to $1:

House Republicans this week reinstated an arcane procedural rule that enables lawmakers to reach deep into the budget and slash the pay of an individual federal worker — down to $1 — a move that threatens to upend the 130-year-old civil service.

The Holman Rule, named after an Indiana congressman who devised it in 1876, empowers any member of Congress to propose amending an appropriations bill to single out a government employee or cut a specific program.

The use of the rule would not be simple; a majority of the House and the Senate would still have to approve any such amendment. At the same time, opponents and supporters agree that the work of 2.1 million civil servants, designed to be insulated from politics, is now vulnerable to the whims of elected officials.

The revival of the Holman Rule was the brainchild of Rep. H. Morgan Griffith (R-Va.), who is intent on increasing the powers of individual members of Congress to reassign workers as policy demands.

Now that is interesting.

I think it is one of those things that sounds good on paper but with current congress where would the votes to reduce anything to $1 come from. I'd love to see it happen, just don't see how it does.

The whole SES deal is a long and nasty road and a travesty.

“I call on the Congress to empower every Cabinet secretary with the authority to reward good workers and to remove federal employees who undermine the public trust or fail the American people.”

This?

That was their salary. They had other less transparent compensations.

Yeesh....I’m old.

[TEXOKIE]

Does this have anything to do with efforts to comply with the call Prez Trump made to Congress in SOTU speech when he liberated govt workers under thumbs of black hats..... and called on Congress to pass laws so that the Secretaries could have the people working for them which are needed.... and get rid of the ones they don’t? [Obviously not his words.]
