[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Under the GOP, it's clear the House Republicans are far more interested in performative bullshit and partisan witch hunts than they actually are about keeping the government running and functional.

It's a huge disgrace.  I honestly can't understand how anyone in their right mind can vote Republican anymore.[/quote]

Our govt isn't functional.  Hasn't been for years.  Where have you been?[/quote]
Let me help you. REPUBLICANS have kept the govt from functioning. They put up ridiculous bills that they know they will not pass, they purposely hurt our National Security (looking at you Tommy T), and shut down govt if they don’t get their way. Don’t blame Democrats. You may not like their policies, but they are in government to enact legislation.[/quote]

I don't like their policies and their lack of agility. I don't like that federal service has become a jobs program and that's there's a ridiculous number of layers of management in federal bureaucracies.  I don't like the fact that we're paying more than ever for .gov and getting less.

I don't like that they screw up everything they touch and they've become an income transfer scheme for the progressive left.  Your answer to everything is to throw more money at it.

My answer is to cut it severely and get rid of whole layers of management in government (AKA, the rubber-stamp brigade) and bring back the agility for it to be effective again.

Government - If you think the problems we create are bad, just wait until you see our solution.[/quote]

Spoken like someone who has never worked in government nor had any experience with government.

You understand that it is more expensive now because almost all of the work was shifted by the GOP to contractors at places like PWC, Deloitte, SAIC etc - the list goes on and on. The taxpayers pay billions for what should cost millions because the expertise was put outside the shop for "competitive" bids.

Add to it, that each time the GOP "shuts the government down" a lot of the workproduct from these firms get tabled and then re-bid at more expense.

So if you want to complain, complain to the GOP who insisted on "cutting" the government workforce, only to have it all outsourced to the crony consulting firms.[/quote]
