So at this point, the working parts of the government that keep everything working in a law abiding way are being dismantled … and the majority of those in power are all just going to stand by and watch it all disappear?
I get that Turnip is a moron and that Muskrat is an idiot … but to see everyone else, hundreds of professionals, career politicians, officials and bureaucrats just stand in the wings and let it all happen is just crazy.
I don’t have hope for individual politicians but I do hold out hope for the sanity of the entire organization of people … but judging from the way things are falling apart, I guess I should assume that the entire US government is just a bunch of idiots.
The people responsible for oversight are going to make a lot of money from shutting down these agencies.
Most of society suffers from bystander effect, expecting someone else to jump in and do something. They’ll help and act once given direction or pushed too far, but won’t do anything on their own before things get bad.
Always has been. Look around us. We are in this situation because of a failure of everything from education to infrastructure, but most especially our leaders failed to protect us, the citizens, against corporations and the inefficiency of unregulated capitalism.
Either the people who voted for this figure out they’re getting swindled and put a stop to it, or the rest of us will eventually just have to decide if we are mad enough or not.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome… the party of fiscal responsibility.
Was CFPB brought about by an act of Congress?
And USAID, and Dept of Education…
Unless Congress or the courts says something there’s nothing to stop him from just withholding all the money, sending everyone home, and selling the buildings.
OK, we cut a bunch of funding to a bunch of critical systems and services. It’s time for us to spend money. Better shut the curtains, first.
