Voters oppose Dems' growing of US bureaucracy

 Breitbart:

Voters say federal bureaucracies are too large and only concerned with their own political interests, a Convention of States Action/Trafalgar Group survey released prior to the Senate’s passage of the $700 billion “Inflation Reduction” bill — which devotes billions to hire a fleet of new Internal Revenue Service (IRS) agents to target middle class Americans — found.

The survey asked, “What is your opinion of federal bureaucracies in Washington DC like the EPA, CDC and IRS?”

Most, 58.5 percent, said the federal agencies have “grown too large and only serve their own political interests,” compared to 33.1 percent who actually believe the federal agencies serve the American public and consider them an “effective way to implement laws Congress passes.”

Opinions were sharply divided on party lines, as 72.7 percent of Democrats believe the agencies are useful and effective, serving the American people. Most Republicans and independents, 89.9 percent and 54.7 percent, respectively, agree that the federal agencies have grown too large and only serve selfish interests — not those of the American people.

...

It preceded the Senate’s Sunday passage of the $700 billion “Inflation Reduction” Act, which the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) admitted will not actually reduce inflation. 

Perhaps one of the most shocking aspects of the bill is the devotion of $80 billion to create what the House Freedom Caucus has described as “an army of 87,000 new enforcement agents to target Americans with as many as one million additional audits per year on taxpayers earning less than $200,000 – the same middle-class suffering the most from the skyrocketing inflation of Bidenomics.”

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) also blasted the measure, emphasizing the fact that it essentially “doubles the size of the IRS.”

“Those IRS agents are designed to come after you. They’re not designed to come after the billionaires and the big corporations. They’re designed to come after small businesses and working families across this country,” he said. 

“The Democrats are making the IRS bigger than the Pentagon, plus the Department of State, plus the FBI, plus the Border Patrol combined. The IRS is going to be bigger,” the Texas lawmaker warned. “This is a massive power grab.”

...

I doubt that Democrats want to be audited, but I suspect they will be included in the greedy Democrats targeting of the middle class for more government money for them to spend recklessly.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t...

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
