This should not surprise anybody that pays attention.

It starts with the School Boards, which I notice to have plenty of teachers and principals, for example.

School Board. City Council. County Board ofSupervisors. State Rep. State Senate. US Rep, US Senate.

There are alternatives often involving government positions.

But the real succkers are those needing to raise money, and stand for election.

Better to get on the payroll as social workers, police, teachers, and have job secirity high pay, high benefits.

But the larger conflict is between the Beltway and the country. Beltway government employees have formed a state within a state. A governmental entity with vast powers, and political and economic goals, that is not meaningfully accountable to the people over whom it rules. That is the nature of the crisis.

This is SO true. There are rumors and reports that appear and disappear saying the administration is moving x number of employees of x government agency out of DC. I hope the President does this with gusto in his second term.

Break up these agencies.... all of them, including the FBI and the CIA. Give them a laptop and spread them out to the furthest corners of the country. Podunk would be a good place to start moving them.

I've got some "skin" in this game. The 24 years of Clinton/Obama/Bush have left behind a trail of liberal government workers 30 feet deep; and they have been the tipping point turning the Commonwealth of Virginia blue. No one goes back home any more after the administration that brought them ends. Government jobs are well-paying and secure.

Clean 'em out!

Oh hell yes! That and nothing else. I never thought I would live to see it flushed out into the open but, thank God, events have proven me wrong.
