By underfunding and understaffing our federal government it will not be able to deliver services. And Trump and GOP will use that failure to privatize the federal government. They want to turn it all over to private companies. And they will create any crisis to do it.
Right now the VA is understaffed by 45,000 positions as reported on the Bill Press show. And the word is that the VA Secretary actually believes nothing needs to be done with the VA system. The same thing is likely in store for the rest of the federal government. With frozen hiring and attrition our federal agencies will become more and more anemic and will not be able to provide services.
We are going to find out what it means to run the government like a corporation. Running the federal government for profit is the new model for Trump and the GOP. Look at what they are doing and not what they are saying.
