We need someone to take a serious look at these alphabet agencies and decide whether we need them or not. The administrative end of the executive branch is way out of control. Also we need term limits. These politicians have been in their position so long they are too far removed from who they are representing. Term limits will create automatic house cleaning of congress.

I did not read the article. Does it “name names?”

Knowing that a company has submitted a bid and buying options is not criminal. That information is usually public.

Knowing some company is about to get fined is not public. That is corruption.

I am always puzzled by people who promote term limits for our elected officials.

Yes, there may be many corrupt ones - but they are the only branch of government over-which you still have some control. You can vote against them.

Term limits only strengthens the permanent bureaucracy over every other part of government.

where are TERM LIMITS, stock-trading limits, strict financial disclosure, etc. etc... really needed?

On FED.GOV employees above GS-15.

Ask yourself - when did you ever get to vote for permanent government ghouls like Fauci, Comey or Welensky?

Corruption spreads unless you eliminate it or isolate it.

Just shows you that the main stream media is deaf, dumb and blind. And about 30 years late.

Corruption is endemic in America. What isn’t corrupted?

Democrats push for and achieve bigger government. The bigger the government the bigger the corruption.

Some Americans still believe the federal government is working in the public’s best interest.

Hard to believe some people can be so damn stupid.

The only permissable investments for federal employees should be the Federal Thrift Savings Program. If it’s good enough for the rank and file, it’s good enough for the rest. BTW, Congressal investment should be limited to Thrift Savings Plan as well.

No big surprise. Just another reason to shutter the vast majority of the federal government. Of course, that idea falls on deaf ears. It’s quite simple, very few in government do anything of value and many in government work counter to Americans interests. They do that while enriching themselves.

Government employees are takers from makers.

The counties surrounding Washington, DC rank at the top of richest counties in the country. The majority of people in those countries work for the federal government, government contractors or in some supporting role to government. While I never fault people for their success, these people are not successful in anything other than fleecing taxpayers that work in the private sector and build something for a living.

The DMV needs to become Appalachia for America to free again.
