The court cases are coming fast and furious to attempt to stop President Trump’s efforts to streamline the federal government.

On Friday a federal judge in San Francisco put a halt on the administration’s plans to fire even probationary employees was unlawful. The Supreme Court upheld Trump’s ability to freeze foreign aid. In another ruling last week, a federal court lifted a restraining order therefore allowing the president’s changes to structure and staffing of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).

Then there are the 14 Attorneys General who lost in court to prevent President Donald Trump’s evaluation of agencies for reorganization, downsizing, and the elimination of waste, fraud and abuse. They were all Democrats who argued, as Judge Tanya Chutkin noted, without evidence of harm that the president couldn’t even make the reforms that don’t require Congressional authorization.

Why all these hysterics from State officials when there is bi-partisan agreement that there is waste in the federal government? Well, for one — Democrats’ last remaining, reliable constituency, are the public employee who fill their campaign coffers, attend their rallies, canvas neighborhoods and wear their t-shirts.

Dims institutionalized graft, skimming, and corruption on the taxpayers dime.  And an ingenious way to hide it.  Until now......

Well no... They merely took advantage of it. Government is 'graft, skimming, and corruption on the taxpayers dime' by its very nature. It doesn't matter who is in charge.

Got to disagee.  The way the Congressional record has devolved into cliff note bullet points has created a monster of a system of barriers to transparency., Remember when $B was a massive number?  We are  the modern era of $T at the benchmark .... Politicians can hide their dirty deeds as well as a laundering drug dealer and chalk it off as a rounded number.

The whole NGO model was a system of grift to obscure where the taxpayer money was going.

NGOs that are funded by government must come to an end.

Agreed...

And it is so sad, that so many conservatives still contribute to these.   Doing the proverbial double dipping at our detriment.

Get rid of the patronage from public employees and corrupt elites who run NGOs and the Obama-built castle of cards that is the Democrat Party collapses. They actually have no philosophical ideas with which a majority of people in the country agree.

You're arguing over the degree.
ANY time you can take (tax) from another at the point of a gun, it is the natural order of the thing to wallow in its increase. It will never get enough.

That is why our forefathers created a purposefully broken government, designed to work against its own ends, hoping to turn it on itself, for the good of the People.

But in the end, and they warned us, it will try to break free.

It isn't just Democrats. It's ALL of them.
