NYT Defenders Of Liberal Leftist HUGE Government

Editorial

  As the title of my blog post this morning clearly states from this New York Times editorial that I am about to expound upon shows their dark side on the issue of Government and their expansion thereof.
 The title of their crap is "Defenders of the Faith in Government."
 It begins in attack mode as always "Wilbur Ross, the secretary of commerce and a wealthy private businessman, was asked for his first impressions of government service. “I thought the quality of people in the government was not as high as it has turned out to be,” he said. “There are actually quite a lot of very good, very serious, very intelligent people wanting to do their best.”

He should tell his boss.

President Trump, ensconced in his scandal-plagued White House, hasn’t paid much attention to the two million federal employees who report to him, unless he’s cutting their numbers, slashing their budgets or wondering on television, “What do all these people do?”

Mr. Trump has barely set foot inside a federal agency since his appalling trip to the Central Intelligence Agency on Jan. 21, when he stood before a wall carved with the names of officers killed on duty, fabulizing about his inauguration crowds. He also visited the Department of Homeland Security in January. This month, after he fired James Comey, the F.B.I. director, the president scrapped a conciliatory visit to F.B.I. headquarters after learning that he would not be welcome. Mr. Trump has spent more time with members of Mar-a-Lago than with members of the federal work force."

  Scandal plagued White House umm I don't think so NYT.

 It goes on the BS rant "That would be people like Phillip Brooks, Byron Bunker, Joshua Van Eaton and their team from the Environmental Protection Agency and the Justice Department, who doggedly investigated Volkswagen’s scheme to evade federal emissions standards and won a record $17.4 billion settlement for car owners and environmental cleanup projects. Or Timothy Camus and the Internal Revenue Service impersonation scam team, a group of Treasury, I.R.S. and other agency workers who unearthed and alerted Americans to a scam that had conned unknowing taxpayers out of millions.

NASA’s Lisa Mazzuca developed a generation of aircraft distress beacons that are better able to withstand crash damage and help rescuers locate victims faster. At the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, Vincent Tang and his team developed a low-cost mobile system that allows cities to detect even tiny traces of nuclear materials, to thwart potential terrorist attacks. Justin Sanchez oversaw two projects at Darpa: prosthetic arms that enable amputees to pick up tiny, fragile objects, and an effort to help soldiers with traumatic brain injuries form new memories.

This month, three cabinet secretaries — Steven Mnuchin from Treasury, Dr. David Shulkin from Veterans Affairs and Ben Carson from Housing and Urban Development — joined corporate executives, lawmakers and colleagues in honoring these public servants and some 20 others. They’re finalists for the Samuel J. Heyman Service to America Medals, presented by the Partnership for Public Service, a nonpartisan advocate for effective federal government. The awards are meant to inspire talented people to enter government at a time when that couldn’t be a harder sell."

Mr. Mnuchin declared himself “humbled to see the talent in this room.” Mr. Carson said that even though he’d heard government employees “didn’t work very hard,” he’d discovered that they are “extremely dedicated.” Dr. Shulkin said the finalists “inspire us to be proud to feel a part of the work force, and they make others want to join us.”

Many of its best minds say federal government work, for all its aggravations, can bring vast material and intellectual resources to bear on problems and discoveries that contribute to our national progress and uphold our democracy. A generation of civil servants inspired by John F. Kennedy’s call to ask what they could do for their country found the answer at a federal agency. As they retire, recruitment is hobbled by a hiring freeze and a president so solipsistic he can’t understand, let alone celebrate, public service.

The Partnership for Public Service produces the Best Places to Work in the Federal Government guide based on an annual federal employee survey. The 2016 data reveal that federal employees say they get less respect, fewer incentives and less recognition for superior work than do their private sector counterparts. Shockingly, more than 40 percent say they can’t disclose violations of law or ethics without reprisals by supervisors. And that was before Mr. Trump came on board and started hunting for leakers.

 Obviously the NYT doesn't understand what it means to cut the Pork dumbasses.

 It finally ends "Committed, talented public servants can foil this president’s abuses of democracy. Americans wonder why anyone would join such a government. Better to ask how to encourage the best to stay, and persuade a new generation that there’s never been a more important time to sign up.

  Government employees especially for example the Department of State is just a huge hangout for the left it has been for years and years now.
