The only way to reduce the liars in government is to make sure there are numerically fewer - hopefully drastically so - federal employees

I agree with you but highly doubt Ryan's ability to make it happen.

The Washingtonians from both parties have no intention of reducing the size of government or the Federal work force and will conspire to stop it from happening by whatever means necessary.

Notice also how Ryan doesn't talk about eliminating the IRS, or any other Department wholesale and goes for the weak "attrition" method that will never play out.

This is just talk from another DC politician, DC will never reform itself.

“I agree with you but highly doubt Ryan’s ability to make it happen.”

You speak the unfortunate truth. I think Ryan was the best choice, but as with any politician, reality tempers my enthusiasm, as much as it does yours.
