Do you remember the White House Correspondance Dinner when Pres Obama mocked Donald Trump over the trivial nature of his role on The Apprentice? Now the joke is on Obama.
We are witnessing how "The Donald's" experience with vetting is coming into play. Most Presidents in the past have filled their Cabinet picks in a highly secretive way. Trump candidates are parading in and out of Trump Tower, in daylight, in a manner remeniscent of The Apprentice. The public and the pundits can weigh-in.
Not only was Trump's Apprentice show relevant, so is his 50 years in business, hiring & firing people! Let's see, how many job positions did Obama fill BEFORE he was President? You got that right! Trump darn well knows how a Meritocracy works! And, he knows when someone is NOT DOING THERE JOB right and needs to hear "YOU'RE FIRED!"
Mothballing Federal programs - what a wonderful fresh concept in Washington where government programs are practically never shut down! Oh, and after ~20 years of paying someone for unproductive paper pushing, there is a lifetime of pension and health care benefits that taxpayers have to fund as well -- a giant waste!! This is just one of the ways we need to "clean-up Washington." I just hope we don't overlook the military budget, especially foreign bases!
Right now all the attention is on the positions Trump is filling. But one of most positive aspects that we will soon have a long overdue pleasure of witnessing is the end of useless and wasteful operations and programs in the Federal Government. The public is very used to seeing private sector businesses packing boxes and shutting their doors when the market for what they offer vanishes or the business fails to perform. Creative destruction is the natural order in a free market capitalistic system.
God bless the American way of Capitalism - the most successful system the world has ever known for raising the standard of living. It is high time for a wave of creative destruction in Washington! Something we would not see if HRC was elected.
