Eliminating Waste and Abuse: Why Spend Money on Three Branches?



Mad Dog has been contemplating this whole idea of waste, fraud and abuse in the United States federal government.

Way Cool Hand Jive

 

Actually, the parts of the government with which Mad Dog has had personal experience--Medicare and Social Security--have always impressed him as being quite efficient, and the administrative costs of running Medicare are way lower than the same costs in the private sector medical insurance companies. 

But why, Mad Dog asks, do we really need those other two branches of government? Why are we spending billions on courts, salaries for judges, paying jurors, endlessly litigating stuff like whether the President can cut off funds for medical research at Harvard and Columbia? All those activist judges ever do is slow things down, erect roadblocks, tie up what needs to be done with endless trials and we know how corrupt juries and trials are--look at those fiascos in New York where they took months to find Mr. Trump guilty of 34 felonies, and what was the result? The judge told him he was a bad boy and that was that.  So why did we even bother? What a waste of money, not to mention time. 



Vice President Vance says judges aren't or shouldn't be allowed to control President Trump's legitimate power. And who could disagree with that? If Trump is legitimate, well then, why all the fuss? 

And then there is the legislature. Five hundred and thirty five salaries, not to mention the upkeep of the Congressional gym and all those offices and staffs.


  

President Trump who was legitimately elected  this time, (unlike the time before, when he was illegitimately not re-elected) knows what needs to be done: He can round up anyone who looks like an illegal immigrant rapist/murderer and put them on a plane to some prison in Central America where we will never hear from them no more at all. So, why waste a lot of money passing laws to do that, and fighting individual cases in the courts? Waste and abuse, for sure. Maybe even fraud.

And the whole thing with judges is they are weak. They can sit there in their black robes and issue a verdict, but they don't have any army or police force to actually enforce it. So why bother with them? 

And President Trump is really trying, you know. He told everyone to buy stocks after the market crashed, when he slammed in those tariffs, and those citizens who listened to their favorite President joined him in buying lots of depressed stocks, and then the President slyly rescinded the tariffs and stocks soared in response and people who bought low made a bundle. 

So why do we need an internal revenue service when we have a President who can make us all rich, if we just listen to what he's saying?


And the military? What a waste of money that is.  Soldiers are just suckers, you know. President Trump has been honest enough to say that. Imagine, they fight for strangers. 



 And as Laura Loomer has so clearly shown, you can just fire generals for disloyalty and nothing bad happens.  Eventually, all the soldiers of the Third Reich swore an oath of allegiance, not to Germany-- but to Adolph Hitler, which was way efficient. They even had this really nifty hand jive thing they did while they were swearing their Hitler loyalty oath, which we should really be working on here and now, as it is absolutely no cost and huge benefit. 

Wow! She's HOT! She MUST be smart!


Talk about efficiency: What could be more efficient than that?

  1. Have you noticed how Trump is emulating Putin with the gold leaf? He still has not got close to those gold doors or those Nutcracker toy soldiers with the big hats, but you look around the Oval Office whenever they do a OO scene and you can see all the gold gilt stuff in the back ground now--it's that Mar-a- Largo kitsch. I've heard he does it at all his golf courses and casinos. He thinks it looks high class, or something.
    Even Tony Soprano had better taste.

  2. Mad Dog,
    I’ve seen the gold cherubs up over the doors of the Oval Office- so fitting for our dear leader. One wonders how many more Mar-a-lago treasures will find their way to the White House…One can never have too much gold—it’s very classy…Why even he’s gold!! Well okay- orange, but it’s in the same family…

    It appears his highness has decided three branches of government are no longer necessary- who needs branches when you’ve got such a mighty trunk… He just needs to have Congress, SCOTUS and the rest of those pesky judges declared dead and voila- revolutionary savings!!

  3. Ms. Maud,
    Yes, declaring people dead seems to be the newest thing in government efficiency.
