President Trump has stated his overall goal, while in office, is to, "drain the swamp!", of political cronies in Washington; lobbyists who want money for outrageously wasteful programs, and "deep state" bureaucrats of the Left, who try to scuttle conservative polices within the federal government, and constantly leak government secrets to the leftist media, for their own political agendas, verses those of the President's. While I certainly support his efforts to "drain the swamp", I, reluctantly, believe more must be done to "make America great again!"
First. "drain the swamp". That will take time, and will be difficult enough, mostly because of government employee contracts, which are so air-tight as to make it so difficult, and time-consuming, to try to fire incompetent bureaucrats, that most federal agencies simply don't bother (such as the F.B.I., recently, when it became obvious to the public that certain agents were E-mailing back, and forth, their desperate concerns that Trump must not be elected, and if he is, they must apply their "insurance policy", whatever that was. Instead of firing them, they simply demoted, and reassigned them, until they decided to resign, on their own.) What was presumably meant to protect bureaucrats from being fired, simply for political reasons, when the opposing party was elected, has become the tool of the leftist, "deep state" bureaucrats to protect them from legitimately holding them accountable for intentionally trying to undermine the policies of a new administration, which they disagree with. If these legitimate legal protections are to be honored, it follows that these career bureaucrats must be willing to enact policies of a new administration, even if they personally disagree with them!
Next, we as concerned Americans must hold Congress accountable for the leftist mess that they have encouraged to take over our nation's academia, which, along with the greedy Banking industry, has essentially enslaved our youth, while creating the myth that a college education was absolutely necessary for success in the marketplace, today. Between making easy student loans available (even for poorly-motivated students) with the surreal expectation that they will lead to high-paying jobs, sufficient to pay off enslaving debts, upon graduation, and silly curriculum that is meant to entice these poorly-motivated students to their schools, rather than the expectation of a truly advanced education, Congressional guarantees for defaulted loans has created a system where the object of higher education is to perpetuate high graduation rates, after bloated admissions, and doubtful education standards, rather than the teaching of truly high education values, that will serve the graduates well in the marketplace. And the banks that make these easy loans, even to questionably motivated students, don't fear their loan defaults. because they know that the federal government will pay them off, anyway.
Naturally, the left (primarily the Democrats, but also the "Establishment Republicans") wants even more of the same, as they are vocally calling for "Free college tuition", as if this it the solution for the ever-increasing student debt crisis, and the mounting default crisis of the same. It is an established fact that people who are given something, for free, soon begin to lose value for it, and a free college education will begin to be seen as valueless to poorly motivated students, who will be even less motivated to apply themselves. Soon we would see the government seem to be paying the tuitions of partying students who graduate with nothing more than an alcohol, or drug dependency. This call for "Uncle Sugar" to pay for everybody's college tuition accomplishes nothing more than to increase the already staggering, and mind-boggling national debt, while perpetuating the employment of questionable professors, who have no interest in teaching valuable skills to our youth, but merely entertain them, while they draw what amounts to government-protected salaries. The disillusioned students, will be taught every leftist dogma, preparing them to protest any non-socialist government, which they will wrongfully blame for their inability to get, and hold a high-paying job!
It's time to stop this vicious cycle of leftist Congressmen throwing more money at a situation that has run amok, due to their throwing too much easy money at it, in the first place! There are probably too many colleges in America today, and they compete, not on the basis of quality education standards, but on the popularity of their "trendy" curriculum. Stop all the easy, government-backed loans, and make the schools compete solely upon reputed academic excellence, for students who have demonstrated a capacity to complete high-quality academic studies, and leave the poorly-motivated students to work at less demanding jobs, until they develop a new sense of motivation for excellence, and save enough money to at least begin to pay for their tuition (with the intention of working hard at school, to demonstrate a new-found ability for excellence, that will make any future loans seem to be a safe investment).
Eventually, this will create an academic environment where students work hard to learn valuable skills, from highly competent professors, that will serve them well in the work force, upon graduation. The colleges who refuse to purge their staffs of all the nonsensical teachers of "trendy" courses, which do not relate to valuable education skills, will slowly see their enrollment dwindle, and eventually close their doors (and good riddance!). An adjustment period may prevail for a time, but eventually the surviving schools will be profitable, minus the idiots who pose as tenured professors, but really teach garbage, and spend tuition money on irrelevant programs. Eventually, the bloated tuition rates would begin to decrease, without the bloated staff salaries of worthless professors, and quality colleges would be able to meet their expenses, without creating silly. "trendy" courses.
Perhaps then the Democratic Party would even begin to see that their Socialist agenda, is nothing more than empty promises, made to a gullible public! But it won't happen until we all, collectively, WAKE UP!!!
