Washington, DC is in dire need of an industrial strength enema.
Too true!!!!!!!!!
One of the best things they could do is start moving some of them out of DC, which they tried to do with the Interior Dept. And, of course, all the DC-vermin that work there cried that they didn’t want to move to the Midwest. The upper management likes living in Georgetown. How dare they live among us common folk. Same should go for the Dept of Agriculture. Ain’t no corn or wheat being grown in DC. Put that place where it belongs. Let the Secretaries of these agencies have a small office there for when they’re in DC dealing with the President or Congress. Other than that, work where the work is. With air travel, government planes at their disposal and Zoom, no need for that bureaucracy to be in DC anymore.
And then, in his 2nd term, order all agencies to cut 2% from everything the first year, from every level in the agency. Most of that could probably come from unfilled positions and folks eligible for retirement, who are just there collecting checks and doing NOTHING. Then up it to 4% the next year. Give folks the opportunity to move to laterally transfer to another agency if an opening is there and their skill set will fill it. Next year, 8%, same thing. Final year, 16%. By then the ship will be fully engulfed in flames and they’ll be bailing out like no one’s business.
