Trump Still Has "Wrecking Crew" Cabinet Ready To Dismantle Federal Government.

Trump will still want to shut down government for his wall. And he will still want other programs robbed to pay for it. That would be tens of billions of dollars. And we also have the entire cabinet put into place to sabotage their agency missions.

It is all so oxymoronic. The entire Trump agenda is to localize as much federal responsibility as possible. The view is that the states are to be responsible for their own survival with minimal federal assistance.

We are at a crossroads here. And the dismantling will escalate over the next 24 to 48 months. The "fire?" sale of our commons is just beginning.

will sing a different tune. The ones who say that they do not want it now (mostly red states I presume) should be denied it when they ask for it in the future. Like when Cruz voted to deny help for other states during natural disasters but NOW he wants it for TX. I know we would never do it but it would show them that there is a price to pay for hypocrisy and lack of empathy.
