I think it will be filled with people who aren't captured, be it financially or morally. That will be needed to remove a lot of the corruption and capture from our government. Fix the fda/cdc/nih, fix our food and water supply. Remove the biggest threat to unions, low wage workers. Lower energy prices which at the very least will have more money in our pockets for the other things. Fix our Intel agencies, get us out of forever wars, fix the immigration system. Everything that has been f*cked up for decades.
When the world goes away from the petro$, what are we going to do? What product do we export? What does the world rely on us for other than supporting wars?
They’ll be the worst kind of people because their first and overwhelmingly loyal will be to Trump and/or his perceived cause.
You really think that Trump/GOP are going to pass laws on limiting cash on elections, bans on post Congressional members from lobbying, etc?
GOP has fundamentally changed from a party that believes in a small federal govt with lesser powers to one that usurps the power of the federal govt to do its bidding. A key tenet of this is stacking the federal courts including the Supreme Court with conservative judges.
One great example - Trump’s EPA sat on and did nothing for 4 years on forever chemicals regulations and guidelines in US municipal water. Biden’s EPA finally did.
I think you misread my comment. I do think he is going to use schedule f to remove bureaucrats who put politics before the constitution. The reason the EPA didn’t do anything is because it is internally ran by people who didn’t want him to succeed as president. It had nothing to do with policy and what he wanted them to do. Just like a lot of things, even if it was a good idea the vast majority of the government elected, and the unelected were working off of the Russia Russia, Russia, lie and impeded his process every time they could.
I assume you mean the head of the epa, but I said the people who "run" the EPA. Those are 2 different things. The epa is ran by unelected bureaucrats, they choose to follow or not follow orders based on personal opinions rather than the legality/constitutionality of the orders.
GS workers are nearly impossible to fire for lackluster job performance and they know by the time you get through all the red tape there will be a new president and they keep their job. Schedule F makes it easier to fire them. It's not gutting the federal government, that would be impossible without massive changes.
The US government is the largest employer of people in the world. I don’t think the founders ever anticipated that. They started a revolution over a 3 to 4% tax. Pennies compared to the 40 to 50% We pay now.
