Here's a funny take on what many Americans would like to see happen, at least metaphorically:



No doubt many Americans would enjoy videos of this really happening in various govt offices. It would be more entertaining for spectators than simply handing out pink slips. OTOH, it would be just as effective & satisfying of a bunch the swamp critters would leave on their own.

That graph makes it very clear that the administrative jobs (bureaucracy) are mostly parasitic. It's also clear why health care is more expensive, health care quality has gone down, & some people cannot afford insurance. The primary culprit for these problems over the past decade: Obamacare (aka the Unaffordable Care Act, an accurate label when the official name is a lie).

Every time the government touches something they make it worse. This happens primarily through exploding bureaucracies & regulations, both of which add to costs while detracting from the primary task.

The government does not create. It destroys.

Wait a sec....haven't the libs told us TRUMP was the problem on J6? Are you saying it was the FBI instead? Anyway, if these departments are going to be counterproductive they should be shut down.

It was always more about the FBI, CIA, etc than Trump supporters. The Gestapo instigated the "riot" & the fascist politicians & media milked it for all its worth ever since. They only used the label "insurrection" because of the 14th amendment. They only care about the constitution when they can abuse it to push their unconstitutional agenda.
