Click to expand... seabird, I appreciate your sentiment, but differ from your conclusions. Nobody likes corruption and malpractice. And nobody does corruption and malpractice better than this Administration. These are not the doctors you want to treat the perceived ailment. They're not going after agencies to save taxpayer money for the great citizens of America. They don't give two s***s about us. If they did, they wouldn't waste uncountable millions (some estimates up to a couple billion) to satisfy their "anti-woke" wet dreams, like renaming the Gulf of Mexico and Mt. Denali. Largely, they want to sweep away restraints on agencies that regulate the companies of Musk and Co., that hinder the Administration's desire to replicate Putin's regime on US soil, or that do not willingly bend scientific truth in the service of fossil fuel or other profits. If we think they're trying to regulate waste, fraud and abuse, we're being taken for a ride. |
