White House plans on restructuring the Federal Government
68 replies, posted
Sen. Patty Murray (Wash.), the top Democrat on the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, dismissed the plan as dead on arrival even before it was official unveiled, calling it a move to propose
“futile reorganizations of the federal government just to have a new talking point.”
“Democrats and Republicans in Congress have rejected President Trump’s proposals to drastically gut investments in education, health care, and workers — and he should expect the same result for this latest
attempt to make government work worse for the people it serves,” she added.

The proposal would also merge the Departments of Education and Labor, with the idea that education and job training should go together.
I'm almost thankful that he's as transparent in being cartoonishly evil as he is, because any more competent person like an actual politician would be far more insidious in these efforts.
If nothing else, it essentially gives us a glimpse into the GOP's playbook that we can refer to in preventing similar fiascoes once we move forward from this clown.
everyone should vote in november like its the last chance you'll ever get, because it might be
I'm sure rolling the Department of Education under the Department of Labor won't have any adverse affects on college affordability at all.
So this is how the cyberpunk future starts
Shit

I'm sure this would end very well...
Not to mention the first thing you see is merging two departments which probably should not be merged if you care about scholarship and college and stuff around that. It feels like the current administration of USA is expecting it's citizens to be braindead to approve such changes.
This is actually the most terrifying thing. This is something from a Nazi playbook or something, I am very uncomfortable with this and I'm not even American
Trump really does want the 2020s to be the Age of Assfucking for the American people.
I don't know anymore, between living as a modern day slave barely scrapping by or starving, I'd rather die honestly.
You know all they’ll do is make schools churn out dumb, compliant workforce drones but the millions to run their new corporate interests. Maybe a few particular kids get to be soulless CEOs or maybe vessels for the current ones to possess when their mortal bodies finally quit on them.
It's just the two departments that Republicans despise the most, I can't see anything wrong with this. Just give him a chance dude.
When the orange stops being president, I never want to see his retarded fucking face or hear anything about him for the rest of my life.
I'm pretty sure the light of day would be the only thing they would see.
Not to put too fine a point on it... but the country did vote him in.
I'm in the boat that ATC should remain in the public sector. The US has a huge general aviation community that has very real fears of a privatized ATC system leaving them behind in favor of chasing profits by prioritizing commercial aircraft.
Yes, Michelle the big dumbass from Delaware, lets do that!
No, no thank you. Corporations and companies live practically off of slave labor. It is utterly ridiculous that productivity has gone up and wages have stayed relatively stagnate. It is disgusting that companies like the one I work for send us little newsletters which brag about reducing man-hours, while increasing productivity, making the company more money, and the company still has the balls to tell me they can't afford to pay anyone better wages. There are people within my company which have been employed for nearly a decade and the still make under 9 dollars a fucking hour. Imagine, working your balls off for someone for 10 years only to make under 9 dollars an hour. Imagine being told that you are required to do more meanwhile still getting the very minimum of raises. I'm in management and that shit makes me fucking mad. I totally want my already incompetent gov't to be even worse then it is it while the richest dickheads on the planet get more richer. Michelle from Delaware is the dumb bitch who lays on the ground willfully so the boot can crush her more efficiently.
All they care about is raising profits for their investors. They don't care how they do it.
Once you've cut material and operational costs down, there's only one other way to cut costs, and you can sure as hell bet it's not going to affect the people in charge of the shit-show.
If they could replace everyone with machines tomorrow, they'd do it within a month.

As much as I wish that was possible, if Trump manages to lose the 2020 election, you are never going to hear the end of it from racist old baby boomers until they're all fucking dead. Doubly so if his Democratic opponent happens to be a PoC. And if he actually manages to be successfully prosecuted for treason... a lot more shit is going to fly than just words.
Good god Theodore Roosevelt would kick the Koch's fucking teeth in.
What kind of evil piece of shit would be FOR all of this?
What kind of human garbage fire would abolish public works that help the weakest of us?
They really are like Ron Swanson and want the whole government to just be a guy with a desk to launch nukes.
Reading that list, it's a hell of a lot more selfish than that. It calls for the removal of effectively ALL programs that benefit the public, and essentially allows corporations to take over and implement slave labor and remove liability if an employee is hurt or killed while on the job. It also allows corporations and the ultra-rich to take control of utilities. Basically, it reads like they want the richest of the rich on top, and everyone else is little more than fodder to keep the machines running. Might be an exaggeration, but my impression of them is that they consider middle class and poor to be less human.
consolidation of branches under large nebulous agencies is exactly out of the nazi playbook, Albert Speer basically controlled the entire economy because of the way all the formerly seperate departments were consolidated under him, same with Goring. we already have a huge issue of trump's cabinet heads acting like the agencies are their own fiefdoms, imagine what the labor and then education secretary would be able to do, hell they could roll HUD into it as well and move the welfare programs out of HHS and make one agency suddenly able to enact anythig regarding entitlements
those countries also have no general aviation. It’s something that’s fairly unique in the states, it’s the reason countries around the world send prospective pilots here to train. If I have to suddenly worry about a fee every time I enter an airspace or an annual fee to use services that are free now then I can’t imagine it continuing.
when someone tries to take control of the McDonald's ATC so you launch the McNuke in a premptive strike
I really hope none of this actually gets passed and just gets caught in the usual legislative gridlock.
So why exactly aren't you all storming the White House right now with numbers like this:

to remove these idiots from power?
like the WH annual budget, it should be going into the master circular file. Congress, not the WH determines what the cabinet and agencies do, and the comparatively narrow proposal to privatize ATC in the FAA reauthorization floundered before ultimately being pulled. Congress, even though the republicans are trump sheep, does not like to drastically overhaul agencies especially in some kind of omnibus all at once package as trump would demand.
healthcare and immigration is comparatively easier
Because nobody actually cares. Americans have been taught that getting assfucked every single day by the government is the norm.
It's called apathy. If you get punched in the eye everyday when you wake up, eventually you stop caring and incorporate it into your day.
Ah yes, Kenneth on page 9. A truly awe inspiring quote
