I have a better idea. Abolish those worthless boards and fire everybody getting paid by them.

I might agree with you, but I’d like to know what each one is doing.

These are generally not paid positions. They are prestige positions.

It is so they can stay in D.C. and continue causing trouble, albeit from the outside. I wonder if Jarrett will continue living with the Obamas?

Rhodes is a “good” choice for a “Holocaust” museum but not the one in DC. He should be the main exhibit in Holocaust museums about Iraq/Isis/Syria, The Taliban/Afghanistan, the Christian victims of Islamic violence in Nigeria, and the Benghazi 4, among other failures because it was his stupidity and incompetence that caused them.

Throw in Jarrett and Rice as additional exhibits for their treason and stupidity.

Sounds like other agencies need help deleting scores of files which implicate the left in criminal activities conspiring with the globalists to weaken America.

Oblama's legacy will be the weakening of America on behalf of his globalist handlers.

They should all go back to their stinking hospital board in Chicago from which they originally came.

Civil Service jobs are not permanent until one year and they can be let go anytime within that year so Trumpt needs to immediatly issue order to fire all new hires with less than one year service. Would be best way to begin to drain the swamp.

Valerie Jarrett needs to be as far away from anything American as she can possibly be.

Don’t fire them.

Replace their bosses with the worst bosses you can imagine. Make them work for the first times in their lives.

They certainly cannot survive in the private sector. Results are expected out here. An ‘advisory’ role does nothing.

“I have a better idea. Abolish those worthless boards and fire everybody getting paid by them.”

Privatize the Kennedy Center and Holocoust Memorial and apply the proceeds to paying down the national debt. The same with PBS, Amtrack, the US Postal Service, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, the student loan program, the National Endowment for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the National Science Foundation, and many more organizations and agencies sucking on the taxpayer teat. The only way to restore fiscal discipline is to reduce the number of organizations supported by the taxpayer and their bloated bureaucracies.

Once these organizations are independent, they won’t be able to afford to support non-producing board members.
