A good example. Sadly a drop in the bucket of the financial hole we are in, but a good example none the less.

One of the “rules” that has been out there for decades was, no matter what the agency or actual need, never return unused budget, as next fiscal year you would get less. This has led to huge waste (buy supplies that were not needed, etc), and points out a real problem with our budget process.

More than just a good example, it’s first step towards setting the tone and re calibrating expectations on how government projects should be run and changing the world view and mindset of how things operate.

Donald Trump already has the ball rolling on this when it comes to American manufacturing. For two decades the corporate mindset default position has been to ship production offshore whenever possible for a large number of reasons.

Trump has put a check on that mindset and if ( a very big if, BTW) he can convince Congress to adopt his energy plans and pass laws rescind economically damaging tax, environmental and workplace that kill American manufacturing and pass new ones that encourage and not punish domestic manufacturing and make American a manufacturing friendly country again he may just pull it off.

It’s a beautiful thing to behold. And a week ago Trump got up and told us how he’s separating totally from the Trump Organization. He’s all the right things.

Wonder if the MSM will ever mention this return of 20% — the bastids.
