It’s time we confront our leaders with their incompetence.
Remember when candidate Joe Biden said, “Anyone who is responsible for that many deaths should not remain as president of the United States of America,” during a 2020 campaign debate? Biden blamed Donald Trump for each of the 220,000 COVID deaths recorded at the time. While the count varies depending on the source, Worldometer indicates the United States is about to cross a total COVID death toll of 1 million.
Let’s set aside the question of whether the public should blame the president for each of the COVID deaths. Let’s also set aside the thorny question of whether that count includes dubious cases in which the victim died “with” COVID as opposed to “from” COVID. Neither of those concerns obscure a conclusion so obvious that even the Left cannot use its fallback, “Russian disinformation!” dodge. While Democrats and “health officials” united to impose vaccine mandates, mask mandates, and numerous restrictions, nothing stopped the pandemic from getting worse. Everything got worse even after we did everything the Left wanted.
This taps a common thread that passes through so much of the Left’s agenda. As the Left hypes an emotional response to a problem, the rush to action skips over a fundamental question that should precede any mandate or expenditure of public funds: Does the proposed solution work?
Does the Left’s prescription for climate change have any effect on climate? Does the Left’s intervention in education improve educational outcomes? Does the Left’s response to homelessness improve the homelessness problem? Does funding for drug treatment programs help reduce drug abuse? Does the Left’s foreign policy lead to more peace? Does borrowing trillions of dollars to “invest in people” lead to more productivity? Has the Left’s stewardship of universities resulted in better-educated graduates?

The left wants to tear down the existing system so they can blame the collapse on the free enterprise system and replace it with a government managed system...communism.
Politics is everywhere, but generally it is the realm of the unimpressive yet narcissistic. It is thus destined to be destructive.
Schumer warned everyone. These bureaucracies have six ways to Sunday if you get in their way.
Very simple fix. Don’t fund them.
That is an option every Congress has.
and it is two years till the next election.
Seriously. A real president like Trump, as head of the Executive Branch, should just zero out the budget for whole vast areas of the government. Send some people to that new branch office at the Air Force Base in Greenland (Thule AFB). But just basically layoff a few hundred thousand people. They are all scum.
To not fund them would mean producing an actual line item budget. That’s too much work. Congress hasn’t produced a budget for what? Fifteen years? All they do is omnibus bills at last year funding plus 10%. Every crisis gets a special supplemental allocation bill. (And for other purposes)
At 3.5% unemployment it’s certainly a great time to trim government payrolls.
