Time to Drain Power Monopoly from D.C. Swamp




Washington D.C. has become the epicenter of greed and corruption. These qualities do not attract people of character and goodwill. As a matter of fact, Obama’s bureaucrats have shown nothing but contempt for the American people and the rule of law. 


We all remember when the IRS targeted conservative organizations and how the Bureau of Land Management harassed ranchers and confiscated their property. Even when progressives aren’t in power, their apparatchiks are busy undermining elections and the will of a duly elected president. These Deep State embeds are a threat to our republic and our elected representatives have a duty to drain this miasmic swamp.




The best disinfectant is slashing and burning these bureaucracies. However conservative politicians don’t have the backbone to confront their Marxist counterparts and the media who pull their strings. Another way is to disperse these agencies across the country and have them face the very people for whom they having nothing but contempt.


The people who run these agencies shouldn’t be isolated from the American people whose lives they affect. I guarantee you these bureaucrats attitudes would change if they were forced to live in the same communities as their victims. They might be more sympathetic had they patroned the same stores, restaurants and other local institutions. They damn well would be more conscious of their public responsibilities if their children went to the same schools as the “little people” who seek succor from a paper pushing tyrant.



As you can expect this idea will be met with great resistance. Here is an excerpt from the Los Angeles Times:


None of it is going over well with die-hard Washingtonians. Many scold that the idea will flame out the same way it did when the Clinton administration pondered and then dropped a big relocation initiative, and the Reagan administration did the same before it.


When the House Government Oversight Committee passed a “Divest D.C.” resolution earlier this year that calls on all agencies to investigate moving out, Eleanor Holmes Norton, the nonvoting House representative for Washington, warned that it would cost taxpayers a fortune, spread dysfunction throughout the bureaucracy and economically devastate the region.


Her Democratic allies on the committee were not impressed by the suggestion of the measure’s sponsor, former Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) that maybe it could lead to the Department of Transportation moving to the traffic capital of the nation, liberal Los Angeles.




I don’t see a downside in disrupting federal bureaucrats who are constantly scheming to consolidate power. I also find it laughable that Eleanor Holmes Norton is concerned about impoverishing the five wealthiest counties in the country that just so happens to surround Washington D.C.




I say we share the wealth by breaking up this government monopoly and spreading it throughout the country. Hell, we might just save the great commonwealth of Virginia from the locust who infest the D.C. suburbs. Hell, this is twofer! Not only do we save our republic from the swamp monsters, we also make Virginia great again! I say Virginia is for Virginians and not Washington D.C. swamp monsters.
