Making good on a promise to slash government, President-elect Trump has asked his incoming team to pursue spending and staffing cuts.



quote:

Insiders said that the spending reductions in some departments could go as high as 10 percent and staff cuts to 20 percent, numbers that would rock Washington if he follows through



quote:

The teams also are looking at staffing cuts over four years through attrition, a hiring freeze and reorganization.

This would be an epic beginning if they are able to hit these goals.

If you eliminated the Department of "Education" you would make a good start. All it does is move money around from one pocket to another.

The Department of "Energy" could be another good one. Anything DoD related could return to DoD, and they could take over nuclear and Strategic Petroleum Reserve functions. The rest I doubt are really needed.

He is taking a sledgehammer to our corrupt government and people are still pissing and moaning about him. All the ridicule for the past year and half is about to pay off BIGLY!

You are too jaded to see anything objectively. It must be sad to never have any hope.

I fell bod for you if you truly believe that only secretarial positions will be cut.

No way he'd lay down these markers if he didn't intend to back em' up. 8 years of this and a new Supreme Court and he he may well "make America great again".

I apologize for living in reality and accepting the truth.

And, yes, it's much easier to live in FantasyLand like the Trumptards, and Obamabots before them.

That's a relative term. I have hope for many things, most things actually. However, where politics and government is concerned, no, I have little hope that anything will change. It's history. We're going through all the stages that every empire has gone through in history.

There's nothing new or different about this country in terms of historic empires.

Get rid of TSA, let the airlines provide security, they have a vested interest in getting it right, and TSA has been shown over and over to be nothing but incompetent.

How is it lame? They're planning department cuts. Who do you think they're going to cut out; those important enough to make key decisions (i.e. the swamp) or the expendable?

Just a wild guess, but I'd say the expendable.
