So-called “minimum wage” for federal workers hits $100K as bloated government loots America

When a big snowstorm occurs, like the one that hit the East Coast this past week, the powers that be usually put out the word that “unessential” public-sector employees should stay home.

On the campaign trail, then-GOP presidential contender Donald J. Trump pledged often to “drain the swamp” in Washington, D.C., noting that the nation’s capital had become a cesspool of political chicanery while ineptitude, inefficiency and corruption had metastasized throughout the federal bureaucracy.

Trump, chances are good you were very optimistic and even hopeful that major changes would be coming to Washington, D.C., after the GOP kept its congressional majority and Trump defeated Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

Trump is doing what no president before has done: He’s asking the American people for ways to cut the size of government

Do you remember the last time a president made a direct appeal to the citizenry for help in accomplishing a campaign promise? Me, either. That’s because it hasn’t happened in, like, forever. But President Donald J. Trump just asked the American people to help him achieve one of his principle campaign promises: Making the federal […]

Drain the swamp bill introduced in Congress

Perhaps one of Donald Trump’s most significant campaign promises, other than his repeated commitment to “making America great again,” was his pledge to “drain the swamp” in Washington D.C.
