Trump will try to clean up DC his first 6 months before giving up and joining the bonanza

Its like when Paboo Escobar tried to get into politics. After trying and failing he said hes never seen so many snakes not even in the worst cartel meetings.

Trump will fail thats my prediction. He will try but fail and become one of the most corrupt presidents in history

the Defense Department was paying just over 1 million contractors, civilian employees and uniformed personnel to fill back-office jobs. That number nearly matches the amount of active duty troops — 1.3 million, the lowest since 1940.

Obama was determined to reduce military staff - instead what happens is that they hire contractors and civilian employees to do the work that the reduction of military used to do. Where dh works, the military does not care about cost as long as it doesn't reflect on the military side - use the expensive stuff because it's coming out of the contractor/civilian side. This administration signed a SEVEN year contract with contractors (with which dh works) saddling the government far into the future.
