Federal jobs need to have massive pay and benifit cuts. If you arent standing a post with a weapon, your compensation should not exceed those that are walking the walk.

And yet the lying media can only report that the transition is “struggling”.

I wonder if that’s why Ben Carson said no to a cabinet position?

WOW! Congress might have to start writing their own laws instead of lobbyists doing it for them.
GO TRUMP! I love WINNING!

Yep. Just saw more media stories this morning casting aspersions at the lobbyist ban.
If Hillary had done it, every media outlet would have claimed the second coming, praising the radiant transparency emanating from The First Vagina, while plastering Mao-like icons of her everywhere.
I hope this will open more eyes. I’m not expecting miracles, but in a long four year slog of media slime, only the True Believers will be immune to the truth.

We need a LAW to prevent anyone who has to be confirm by the Senate and all members of the House and Senate to be banned from working as a lobbyist for six years after leaving office. A pledge—as we saw from Jeb Bush, Ted Cruz, et. al.—is not worth the air the pledge displaces.

Your POST made me think of an animated characterization of Mr Trump as the adverisnent for Mr. Clean, with Mr. Trump as MR. Clean.

Law likely won’t work. There’s a long list of spouses or other close relatives of Congressmen bringing home much more money as a lobbyist than a Congressman is paid.
