How many of these government workers have done something that helped me? I don’t remember any.
So I wonder what will happen to all these government non-workers if the private economy nose dives? Who will pay their bloated salaries then?
The swamp will never be drained. It’s been entrenched too long and has built itself safeguards. The latest is Ukraine, the money launderer for the Democratic party
A couple of years ago, I needed certificates of corporate clearance from Pennsylvania taxing agencies. One sent the certificate to the wrong address - 121 instead of the correct 212. I had to keep filing LLC forms until the LLC was terminated, and when I found out why it was not terminated, and I got it corrected, it cost me $5 grand to terminate the LLC. The state employee who screwed up thought it was funny.
My faith in government dropped to a new low.
A balanced federal budget without raising taxes would fix most problems immediately by slicing off dozens of federal agencies and destroying the GOPe/uniparty/left wing politicos, that’s the good news. The real bad news is that it would take a bloody Civil War II to do so anytime soon.
We’re on track to hit $40,000,000,000,000 in debt by the end of the decade so The Great Collapse is right on schedule, we’ll see what happens.
Bottom line, the swamp is enormous and still growing, government is way too large. It will take two terms back to back of conservative Presidents with Congressional support to rightsize government - by cutting it at least 25% or more.
However, the swamp is stronger than ever.
