[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think part of the problem is the sense on the Hill that DC wastes an incredible amount of money on frivolous or ineffective programs.  Bike lanes, violence interuptors, street murals, luxury apartments for the homeless, etc.  Need to fix this going forward…[/quote]

Even ignoring the merits of this argument, it's unfair. It shouldn't matter to them if D.C. wants to waste its money, though -- it's local dollars, not federal dollars. The principle involved is local control, not fiscal responsibility; if we were wasting federal money, that'd be different. [/quote]

Well, when congresswomen are assaulted in their DC apartments.  And, Congressmen are brazenly carjacked. And when senior Congressional staff suffer life changing wounds.  Then the merits sorta go out the window.[/quote]

How does randomly cutting the budget make anyone safer?[/quote]

Same idea as the federal government, cut the current government workers then hire a J6er as chief of MPD and MAGA officers. DC is an easy punching bag for Trump and I expect him to put the worst of his base in DC positions just to mock the council.[/quote]

This Council does enough to mock itself everyday of the week.  I mean Biden through under the bus with that horrific DC crime “reform” bill. Even the California senators voted against it.  This takes talent. [/quote]
