In the past week or so, the courts have begun to try to set some boundaries on the Musk–Miller–Trump administration’s early blitz of recklessness.
. . .
This judicial review provides at least a small reprieve, hope that some of the administration’s most destructive impulses will be stopped. Or at least pared back. But even with the courts stepping up, and even with the reality of the administration’s ineptitude sinking in, this early Musk–Miller–Trump blitz remains very—maybe irreparably—damaging. Of course, there are a lot of moles to whack: the U.S. Agency for International Development and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau are being dismantled at an alarming rate, and the court system is not known for being nimble. The administration is betting, perhaps rightly, that at least some of its thoughtless, lawless efforts will slip through the cracks.
But even if the courts caught them all—and even if every court facing each lawless escapade said, “Nope, that’s not a thing”—still the entire process would be doing serious damage to our institutions. Think of it as someone spoofing your identity and going on a shopping spree with your credit cards. Even if the goon gets caught, you still have to go store by store to argue that the fraudulent purchase wasn’t legitimate and hope the debt is forgiven. And all the while, perhaps long after all the debts are dealt with, the torrent of uncertainty kills your credit score.
Ones that would check the meat…
Whoever wants to pay for there service
You’re way off topic here. There’s a shit ton of waste in gov, I think starting with things like dei music festivals in Ireland if a good place to start
Those organizations do not exist. They cannot be magicked into existence.
Who would that be? Because currently it’s paid for by taxes which is why we don’t have the situation Upton Sinclair described in The Jungle.
And no, I’m not off-topic at all. Because that is not where he is starting. At all. There was no list drawn up of unimportant federal employees when this started.
I didn’t know their names
Because you have to go through the expenses. You don’t know what’s waste if you don’t look at the receipts, like lgbt comic books
So you are convinced that a government service that works just fine as it is would work better with an organization that doesn’t exist and is paid for by no one you know that would pay for it?
The customer would pay for it. Why do I need to know individual names of them? If I had them would that change anything?
Customers already pay for it. With taxes. You just want customers to pay someone else. Probably more.
Meanwhile, here’s some very wasteful jobs Trump cut! https://www.rawstory.com/trump-nuclear-weapons-2671157952/
Ok my way they wouldn’t pay for it by the threat of violence. I like my way better
The reason it’s done through “threat of violence” (this is a good indicator that you shouldn’t be taken seriously) is that libertarian pipedreams are bullshit that never work.
Your way is idiotic and leads to people being poisoned by bad actors and is the reason we do it through taxes in the first place.
Right now, they’re at the “loose nuclear weapons are a good thing” point in their attempt to defend Trump, so I think they’re going even beyond most libertarian pipe dreams.
Remember how this started with you saying what Trump is doing right now with firing federal employees is a good thing?
Still think what he’s doing is good?
Yes lol nothing you said that would possibly change someone’s mind
