I wonder if the people of UT won’t rise up against Mike Lee in 2016 the way they would not against Orrin Grant Hatch in 2012.

It depends on who the agency answers to. In most cases, I think the answer is yes.

Now if a President actually wanted to DownSize DC, can you imagine the reaction.

Of course if 1/2 of DC ceased to exist, the nation would feel a great burden removed. They are worse than worthless, the are non-contributors and destructors of society.

As a smart guy said on CNBC....

China has central planning by mathematicians, scientists, and engineers.
And the US has central planning by lawyers.
Neither is good, but by definition we lose.

You know, we have really two choices: vote for those who hate to see the destruction happening or for those who cheer the destruction and want to see it accelerated. Ultimately though both sets of officeholders fail us.

Agree, and we have far more than that. God help US.

Yes, and they put us all in chains doing so.

Instead of the Constitution chaining the Fed Gov.

It is TIME to DownSize DC!

Break the system. Alinsky them. I don’t think reform is possible.
