It looks like the Biden regime is trying to enact rules to prevent Trump from downsizing the blob.
New office: The Department of Departments.
“He has erected a multitude of New Offices and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance”
Grievance #10 - Declaration of Independence
Might the “Billionaire Boys” be the 21st Century equivalent of the Founding Fathers?
Sadly, this article makes perfect sense. It’s sad because the article clearly states just how sad our government has become.
I believe the bloat started with Carter. I used to live in Arlington in the early 70’s and it was a nice place with little shopping centers, little parks and mostly single family dwellings. A person could go for quiet walks, meet friendly people and find it as enjoyable as with many small midwestern towns.
In the 90’s we went back and it was a madhouse full of new government buildings. It was a rat race. I can imagine with the Clinton era on forward it’s only worsened.
We were married in Fairfax. My recollection back then was the area our church was in was mostly wooded with very little population. That’s likely been filled with asphalt and concrete by now too.
Imagine, trimming the area down to a ghost town.
Deep State delenda est.
There needs to be a complete removal of Democrats at all levels, not just the top.
When the government’s purpose is to serve the government and not the people, you have fascism. Democrats claim that limited government is fascism, and democracy is when the people’s freedoms are limited. Just like usual, they have everything ass backwards.
It will eat and grow until it explodes unless someone stops it.
I believe that the federal government should only do things people. business, local and state governments can’t do themselves.
This function allocation is analogous to the Amendment X powers clause.
The federal government would let states handle most domestic governmental functions such as education and welfare. Just about everything in the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance would vanish.
The federal government would send revenue sharing money to the states as available, 50% on a per capita basis, think low-income states like Mississippi, and 50% on a personal income tax basis, think high-cost states like Massachusetts.
The federal government would:
1. handle all prescription drug welfare including Medicare Part D, since the high costs come federal patents and FDA marketing restrictions,
2. retain old age Social Security, since many people retire out of state,
3. retain Part A & B of Medicare for persons 65 and over indefinitely, for the same reason, with states have their revenue sharing funds reduced by a cost-sharing percentage starting at 1% and rising at 1% a year to a maximum reduction of the highest state income tax rate percentage plus 20% to give states an incentive to reduce hospital and doctor costs,
4. pay 80% less the highest state income tax rate percentage for Medicaid nursing home costs.
“Department of Redundancy Department, Bureau of Repetition, Division of Multiplication”
Governs best/least is the ideal.
Rescind laws not write laws.
Stable currency, prevent invasion, domestic tranquility. Those are the three things government should stick to (according to the late great Paul Johnson). I would add, preserve, restore and replenish all natural resources of the nation, including adding peacefully new territories and (few) people whose ideals and will agree completely with eventually becoming American.
Use the ignored Ninth and Tenth Amendments to erase the rest.
Governing a country is like driving a car - if you never move the steering wheel, you’ll run off the road.
“Government Efficiency”
This is a classic issue with ANY government job because there is very little incentive to be effective at their job after a certain point. This is because the employees are almost impossible to fire. Therefore, IF there is no room for advancement there is no reason to do any more than the least accepted. The bare minimum.
For example, the Tuesday after Labor Day (six days ago) a major traffic light on my daily commute into Nashua, NH was screwed up. It only was staying green for 21 seconds(I counted). Traffic was backing up over a mile in the eastbound direction. After two days I called the Nashua police who said I need to call the department of public works.
I called and spoke to a nice lady who stated she had received several calls other then mine and had referred it to the streets department. Another two business days have gone by. Nothing has changed. I called again this morning. Spoke to another nice lady who acted like this was the first she had heard about it. She again stated she would refer the issue to the streets department.
Better branding would be Green Government, Carbon Emission Reduction, or Carbon Footprint Commission. The U.S. Government has the largest carbon footprint of any organization on Earth.
