The time is well past the point of the US Govt being able to justify it’s banner of being the largest employer in any city, county, state, or nationally. Burn it all down and send a brutal message that the gravy train has derailed. The only survivors should be people who actually WORK and contribute to the good of themselves, their families, and (ultimately) their communities. We really need to reclaim the high ground for the average citizen by embracing the mantra, “If you don’t work, you don’t eat.”
Amen.

I’m approaching retirement. And Ill be damned if I want a penny of my tax follars to be wasted or stolen. By anyone - from welfare queens to corrupt politicians.

Kamala or AOC, I’d suspect. They should have asked Jasmine Crocket to put it in “jive” so their supporters could better understand the message.
I worked for the federal government for over 30 years and I can tell you none of that is even close to being accurate.....not where I worked anyway.
