Be Smart. Stay Informed. Actively Dissent.
Sabotage, pure and simple.
$455,000,000,000 that could be spent easily to help the US, which is clearly suffering greatly from COVID, might not be, as Republicans rediscover their love of deficit reduction in or around January 20th.
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin will put $455 billion in unspent CARES Act funding into an account that.... Janet Yellen, will need authorization from Congress to use.

Following a historic Presidental election in which President-elect Biden crushed Trump, Smart Dissent took three weeks off from new posts after not taking a week off since February 2017. We're back with new additions to our database because Trump and Republicans continue to undermine our nation on their way out. We hope to not need to add nearly as much as we get into 2021 but will post as needed.
With that in mind, let's look back to 11/6/20:

You aren't the only one who missed this two weeks ago: Trump signed an Executive Order in late October 2020 that deeply undermines the professional federal civil service and sets up his cronies to burrow into permanent jobs in our US Government.

Giving him the power to fire career officials would be a disaster.
