Don't get me wrong. Government is way to fucking fat. They couldn't even get a reach-around from Biden in his younger hears.douche wrote: ↑Tue May 02, 2023 6:39 pmI don't know if there is a great need for it, but we sure could use something a lot less invasive and 'fat' than what we've got right now. Government is like everything else when left unchecked... it just runs fat and becomes this mammoth machine that knows no end.Walla Walla Dawg II wrote: ↑Fri Apr 07, 2023 4:36 pmI tend to agree with Gil 100% here.
I hate government, but realize there is a great need for it.
I just vomited a little bit.
I was speaking to a fellow from Buffalo, NY recently and he suggested that we eliminate 50% of the politicians and their positions right off the hop and hold the remaining 50% accountable. That would be a good start.
But government is NEEDED. It is needed to ensure the protection of their citizens, business and (yes..and) corporations or people, business, corporations will take every advantage they can. Government must make a level playing field, but not at the expense of one group or person. They need to be a general "leveling of the playing field".
All government should be doing is "setting the bar" and let things pay out, not pick winners and losers.
I don't know about retiring 1/2 of congress, then holding the rest accountable. Maybe we should just hold all of them accountable and make serving the public a "part time job" again....not a career.
Lets have:
