Sunday, Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) called for term limits for federal government bureaucrats as a way to curb corruption and the growth of government during an appearance on FNC’s “The Next Revolution.”
The Tennessee Republican U.S. Senator explained to Fox News Channel’s Steve Hilton such a move would be an effective way to “drain the swamp.”
“It has been an incredible year, one that nobody anticipated,” she said. “And one of the things I think is so precise that you have just touched on is that Big Business, Big Government, Big Tech, Big Media — they all go hand in hand, and they’re all a part of the D.C. swamp. And thank goodness for Donald Trump and his efforts to drain the swamp, and I think the American people are finding out just have murky the swamp is.”
“And you know, Steve, one of the things you touched on about the bureaucracy and cutting it,” Blackburn continued. “I have said for a long time — we need to have term limits for bureaucrats because they are the ones that dig in, and they won’t leave, and they never modernize. They don’t use technology. They always demand more money. They never get a pay cut. They are always getting pay raises, so we need to have term limits for bureaucrats.”

Yeah they’re gonna vote for this. They vote for thier own pay raises!
I notice the solution is never to get rid of a bureaucracy.
And then when Congress decides some sort of term limit for the figurehead puppet, it will also encourage SES or some other way for the “professional staffers” to stay.
Blackburn is elected. She is a puppet actor. She has no power other than mouth power. She will say whatever she thinks she must in order to keep the scam going.
Not correct . Bureaucrats are governed by civil service regulations passed by congress & signed by president. Bureaucrats don’t give themselves cost of living raises.
TOTALLY AGREE!! And NO DAMN PENSION!!!!!
I don’t she means elected officials, I think she means bureaucrats.
starting with the GOPe And Republican elected officials, including all staff and career Administrators of said elected Politicians.
Anyone who voted Dem side of a bill or against USPDJT.
That’s a start...
You slugs have 5 minutes to exit the buildings.
Yes, I will happily agree to that term limiting start.
Suggestion accepted by 70+ million Republican Voters that pay your stinking bills.
just sundown the funding of the agency that employs them!!
easy-peasy
They know we are coming for them politically, so do the career political unionized lifetime appointed no way to fire them swamp servants.
Either way, they know we are coming, and it will not be via the GOP Republicans Uniparty.
In a better world Civil Service would be repealed.
If this coup continues, there may be term limits that they truly do not desire and will not be debatable.
Easy. Get the Unions out of government
As I said yesterday;
Bureaucrat, any federal employee not elected to office.
Bureaucrats don’t vote in Congress. (At least not officially.)
An idea whose time has come...
I’d prefer term limits for senators and congress. 12 years total.....don’t care how it accumulates.......one the other or a combination of both....once you hit 12 you’re gone.
I think she’s talking about federal employees and not members of Congress. She doesn’t seem to have a problem with Senators or Congressmen spending 30 or 40 years in office.
Yeah, yeah, yeah Marsha...will you be standing with Senator Hawley come early January? Hmmm?
we need GOP senators to stop the steal
