President Trump Proposing To Reorganize Federal Government

Washington – President Donald Trump’s budget director is presenting a plan to overhaul the federal government during a Trump Cabinet meeting.

Mick Mulvaney, the director of the Office of Management and Budget, tells Trump and the Cabinet that it has been nearly a century since anyone reorganized the federal government at this scale. He says the U.S. is still dealing with a government from the early 20th century.

Trump is calling it the “drain the swamp Cabinet meeting,” a reference to one of his major campaign pledges.

The plan calls for merging the education and labor departments and moving the federal food stamp program to the Department of Health and Human Services and renaming that agency. Many of the changes would require approval from Congress.

The sweeping reorganization proposal, which was formally unveiled during the president’s cabinet meeting Thursday, is the result of a presidential order signed by Trump in March 2017 calling for a review of the federal government aimed at identifying redundancies and streamlining agencies.

Among the specific proposals outlined is a plan to merge the departments of Education and Labor into a single Department of Education and the Workforce, or DEW. The combined agency would oversee programs for students and workers, ranging from education and developing skills to workplace protections and retirement security.

It would also create a single food safety agency under the Agriculture Department and move the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, also known as SNAP, from the USDA to Health and Human Services, which would be renamed the Department of Health and Public Welfare and be refocused more broadly on public assistance programs.

I have worked with and against governments for years. I have more first-hand experience with the sloth, self-absorbtion, complete lack of concern about the effect of government policies and their decisions on citizens and businesses than I care to remember. I have also worked with brilliant, hard-working, focused and concerned government officials.

The problem? Our current Federal system is so massive, so unwieldly, so poorly designed, and so patrician that anybody who gets involved in a battle for a permit, or waiver, or help on regulations, or processing of government forms will eventually (inevitably) move from the smart, dedicated government employee to the fat (trust me on this - the percentage of government employees who are ******* obese is very high), lazy *******.

So what do we do? How about this - watch the link. Cannot post it as a video, because YouTube would never allow this incendiary commentary on their site:

I work for the federal government and our LCMC has been cut to the point that we are struggling provide effective support to our customers. There are times I wish we had more people, but I also like being busy all the time.
 
So much God damn winning.

Good for you Confluence!! You decided to eat up some more bandwidth with your say-nothing, frivolous posts. Keep on being you! You rock at being remarkably unremarkable. Why don't you go back to the drawing board and work on some posts that actually add to the conversation, as opposed to following me around slinging ****? I have enough wackadoos following me around, creeps me out. Find a new infatuation, for your own sake.

Do you have a link for all the achievements of Obama in his first two years as POTUS?

No I don't and right now I care about that as much as what achievements Gerald Ford, FDR or Teddy Roosevelt had in their first two years. Stop living in the past and try to imagine a political dialogue in June of 2018 without the names Obama or Hillary involved in it, as difficult as that may seem. Because neither are relevant right now and are as far from positions of power as can be. My post specifically points out the backlash (or the beginning of the backlash) against Lord Trump's punitive tariffs that everyone knew would spark trade wars and have a negative impact on the economy. That is what's seemingly happening now. I know you don't want to touch that with a ten foot pole. You're welcome to debate Obama's first two terms with yourself, in front of a mirror, if you have such a burning desire to do so.

I just drained the last of my IRA to pay business debt from my former company trying to keep it alive through the recession. Next step is bankruptcy. Thanks Obama.

Why is the US dollar rising today Tibs?
 
Tibs,

Was there any other reason the market might have been down today?

Why were the tech stocks lower (hint)?
 
There are always many factors that affect stocks. But you can't ignore the elephant in the room.

The Dow plunges as much as 446 points as trade tensions soar


  • All three major US indexes were lower Monday.
  • The Dow Jones industrial average fell more than 400 points.
  • The sell-off came after the Trump administration said it could bar investment in US companies from countries that "are trying to steal our technology."
Stocks fell in midday trading Monday, with the Dow Jones industrial average down as much as 446 points, amid reports of protectionist policy pushes by the Trump administration that would ramp up trade tensions on multiple fronts.

New rules that would curb investment in American technology firms are reportedly in the works within the Treasury Department. The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday that the initiatives would block companies with more than 25% Chinese ownership from buying "industrially significant" technology companies. But Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said Monday on Twitter that the rules could be applied to "all countries that are trying to steal our technology."

Also Monday, Wisconsin's Harley-Davidson tumbled more than 6% after saying it would move some production out of the US amid retaliatory tariffs the company said would bring about a "tremendous cost increase." The move comes after the European Union pushed back on Trump's steel and aluminum tariffs with its own duties on politically significant US products like motorcycles.

It works like this: You lower your tariffs and we'll lower ours. Conveniently ignored are the high tariffs other nations have had on U.S. products for a long time.

Understood. Let the trade wars commence, I'm sure it'll turn out great.

This is comical to me.

I remember all the grief the left gave Reagan for eliminating the tariffs on steel and "killing the steel industry".

WTF? POTUS is supposed to make policy around making the NASDAQ go higher (do some work, Tibs, it was the tech sector that sold off --- giving back recent gains) ?????

Why, Tibs, would it be bad for any country to discourage others, demonstrated bad actors (Chinese ripping off American AND global IP), from continuing to take/steal without attribution/payment or any fear of reprisal?

Why not just give China all intellectual property?
 
A Trump rally should be starting in about 20 minutes. I bet this one is going to be epic. Fox News is your best bet to catch it. *Tibs scurries off to safe space.

LOL, wrong again. I watch every Trump speech at his drooling-from-the-mouth, bat **** crazy rallies that I can. I also watch every Huckabee Sanders presser that I can. I get my Trump news from the horse's mouth. I don't need to read articles or watch the news to gauge what a gigantic dipshit Trump is. Just need to listen to him and his cabinet spell it out in plain English.
