Looks like the Republican machine is deep under the covers making a mockery of elections. Republicans, post your disapproval!!!
Biden Confronts Trump-Era Inertia in Trying to Shift Agency Acts
President Joe Biden is being defied by his own government as his ambitious plans to undo four years of Trump run into a harsh reality: The government lumbers on, slow to turn course even after an election. Cumbersome bureaucracy threatens his agenda on everything from fighting climate change to ending the coronavirus pandemic.
“You load these systems up and they are going to keep grinding,” said Paul C. Light, a professor of public service at New York University. “They don’t stop to congratulate the president on his inauguration. They keep going and stopping them is difficult.”
Then there is the so-called “burrowing” of political appointees converted during Trump’s final weeks in office to career civil service positions, making them hard to dismiss. At least two-dozen such employees are in positions, according to Accountable.US, including the head of Federal Student Aid at the Education Department. The department didn’t respond to an email seeking comment.
“The potential historic number of holdovers and hangers-on from the previous administration pose a serious threat to the will of the American people and President Biden’s efforts to get the pandemic and recession under control,” Accountable.US said in a statement.
