Incompetence has been institutionalized, and is now the accepted norm.Schools fail, municipal agencies fail, oversight agencies fail, state agencies fail, and the public feels powerless to effect any systemic change.
Changing the elected officials who are the citizens' representatives does nothing to rid the system of incompetence or enforce accountability and transparency; the insider elites have wired the system to avoid responsibility and maintain their institutionalized skims regardless of who is in elected office.
Budgets never decline, they only expand. The system is organized to punish frugality and reward incompetence, sweetheart contracts, overtime, and ever higher public spending.

"I think engagement with our adversaries, conversations with our adversaries, is a good idea," Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky said during an interview with CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer. "Even in the height of the Cold War, I think it was a good thing that [President John F. Kennedy] had a direct line to [Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev]."
Paul then went beyond backing Trump's comments and blamed partisan leanings for the ongoing outrage.
"I think there is a bit of Trump-derangement syndrome," Paul said. "I think there are people who hate the president so much that this could've easily been President Obama early in his first administration setting the reset button and trying to have better relations with Russia."
Paul added that Russia was a valuable intelligence asset and could be helpful in establishing diplomatic relations with other adversaries, such as North Korea.
"All those things are good," Paul said. "But because people hate Trump so much, all of that's being lost."
The reality is that the solution to this is very simple: start cutting government pork.
anyone have a youtube link of Orange Hitler and the KGB Runt?
Frankly I'm not even sure if that's even possible anymore, given the size of the task. You could ironically create an entire agency to do efficiency audits and start stripping pork, and they wouldn't be able to locate it and eliminate it faster than it's added. Would probably require congressional oversight as well, and anything deemed cut worthy would wind up in committee, which would inevitably delay it further.
Dollar Vs. Brics
I would rather see us compete over that for a few more decades
than pull the plug outright and have another World War over it
I am not going to be upset about cooler minds prevailing tbh
So.. logic 101. Based on current events and media reporting habits.. which is more likely? Trump fucked up royally or the media is just doing the media thing?
