Greedy, greedy pigs. There was a headline in the local paper the other day, about our millionaire congresspersons. Three quarters of the congresspersons from the state of Connecticut are millionaires. In both the house and the Senate.
The disconnect between those in Congress and their constituents is VAST.

Being a millionaire doesn't bother me, about 3% of the US are. In the DC area it's closer to 10-15%.
What bothers me is using their job to make themselves and friends millionaires.
Also with the devaluing of the dollar it doesn't quite have the same kick as it used to.

Well as much as I'd like to see many of the cabinet level departments just outright disbanded, I've heard an idea that would cut them down and re-prioritize their jobs.

Set the federal budget levels for all the departments at the exact same amount as last year minus 1¢ for every single $1. Repeat every year until the taxes exceed the outlay. So if departments have to cut people back, so be it. If they can't do some non-constitutional task, so be it.

I wonder how long the federal leviathan would last?

Unfortunately Jim you have people screeching in DC about Draconian cuts which will have babies starve, when their budgets only grow 5%.

All in all ok videos, I would have preferred TSA be on it. possibly instead of Dept of Ed. Not because dept of Ed shouldn't be cut but because, critics will say they hate children and education. TSA has a much worse rep and less quotable defenders.

The USDA is basically a cash dispenser these days. Between food stamps (the USDA administers that) and farm subsidies, the bulk of its budget goes into welfare of some sort. Ag research or anything like that is a vanishingly small percentage.

What you mean "downsize", paleface? Eliminate is more like it.

If some dude needs help learning how to farm, there should be an agricultural extension in his state.

And I'm quite certain we could fold food stamps, should we deem their continuance necessary, under the FOOD and Drug Administration.
