There seems to be a staffing crisis taking place in the White House at present. Every week or so we hear of another appointment or firing, and the media begins its spin machine going again, keeping the 24 hour news cycle fed. What is even more amazing than the staff turnover is the fact that things still seem to be getting done.
This begs the question…How much of the “movement and activity” we see in government is really necessary? And, this leads to the question of whether or not we could just do away with large swathes of bureaucratic layers.

Yea, or they could turn the pool into a swamp with gators and snakes to keep the drive bys company.
FDR got the pool to help his polio and none other that R.M. Nixon covered it over for his natural enemies: the media

Are they really fixing the HVAC or are they sweeping for Obama bugs?
I hope they find all the bugs and trace them back to Valerie Jarrett’s ear. Is she sitting over there in the Obama war room listening to all the juicy stuff and giving it to the media?
I have noticed that since being in NJ, those personal leaks have stopped and they’re having to publish leaks from the EPA instead.
