Trump Signs Order To Reduce The Size Of the Federal Bureaucracy
Westernjournalism.com ^ | 3/13/17 | Jack Davis

Posted on 03/13/2017 4:13:50 PM PDT by cotton1706

President Donald Trump on Monday began a far-reaching reorganization of the federal government.

Trump signed the Comprehensive Plan For Reorganizing The Executive Branch, which he called a “major step towards making the federal government efficient, effective and accountable.”

Trump said the order empowers his Cabinets to revamp their departments.

“We have assembled one of the greatest Cabinets in history and I believe that so strongly,” Trump said. “And we want to empower them to make their agencies as lean and effective as possible and they know how to do it. Today there is duplication and redundancy everywhere. Billions and billions of dollars are being wasted.”

“This order requires a thorough examination of every executive department and agency to see where money is being wasted, how services can be improved and whether programs are truly serving American citizens,” Trump said.

I’m 69, never had a government job in my life. (Except a term as city councilman in a town of 10,000 people and Republican GOP County Chairman in same county, ZERO pay either job)

I did business with privately held companies for 35+ years. Traveled 11 states at one point. Have know a lot of small business owners.

I have never seen circumstances like the last election. This time the ComDems are going to remember if they survive politically.

Don’t really need an amendment, just get Trump to issue an OE undoing JFK’s original OE. Then pass legislation forbidding federal employee unionization, so no future EO can re-establish it. Much better then cluttering up the Constitution.

Jeb Bush wouldn’t have signed such an order with a fifth of whiskey inside him and a gun pointed at his head.

Where does the $10 billion annual tribute to the UN show up on that chart?
I’m not sure “who” pays that.

Let me guess, Veterans Preference hire...I, as a new hire GS 7, did the work for a GS 13 Contract Specialist who couldn’t write a complete sentence but who got the job with preference points.

Why do you have a problem with telework?

I telework and get just as much accomplished as I do driving into the office. Sometimes more.

Jealous much?

So you’re saying that there’s no point to even try?

Picture yourself as a real working man somewhere in flyover country, and this illiterate son of Obama is making 100K per year to analyze correspondence AND HE CANNOT READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He can read, just not very well, by white standards.

To find the true, invincibly ignorant, illiterate minority students, look at the Education majors.
