National Insecurity and a modest proposal.

    Many Americans belive that the FBI, DOJ, CIA, NSA, and other parts of government may not have acting in the best interest of the people, rather rationalizing tilting the game towards more monied interests than the average person.  Our enforcement, judicial, and intelligence apparatus has gotten away from us and  needs remediation. 

   When the army of Cassius ran from the army of Spartacus a punishment called decimation was employed. The army in goups of ten drew lots, the odd man out was eliminated by the others in a brutal fashion. This would be unacceptable in the world today. 

   Our President was elected being famous for this catchphrase "You're fired" from " The Apprentice" series. Why not use the talent we have for at least a couple of months try and mitigate the issue. Bad behavior and corruption aren't things instantly banished from humans. 

    People like Donald John Trump learn to suppress the worst and bring out the best in people in order to accomplish goals. We saw this in New Jersey when unions tried to expand their hold on Trump's casinos.  Unions like H.E.R.E local 54 that were mob linked. Trump's employees largely voted against unionizing and a famous and disruptive wildcat strike missed his properties. 

    President Trump uses the carrot and the stick in ways that often astonish or even upset others. We should beg him to unleash his organizational skills on our various corrupted agencies. What the hell do we have to lose? 

     Your writer was a security guard on a Trump property in New Jersey. We voted to pass on unionizing, The organizer that worked among us was basiclly nullified with kindness. Nobody was mistreated, the managers and supervisors just pampered the agitator.  Making his protestations appear less than reasoned. 

    A year later, your respondent had to fire Trump plaza to get to blackjack table. When Donald Trump's proparties were magically missed by a wildcat strike I was at Harrah's. Worked one shift in a bow tie, then overtime in a chef's jacket. Got to cross a picket line in a chef's jacket. Memories. 

  Now we have seen a national crisis with a crippling of the engine of our society, our economy.  Once again, state allied with Trump are doing better in recovery. Could it be time to let our Chief Executive apply his no nonsense management style to our defelict alphabet agencies? 

   Can we afford not to right this wrong especially in light of our current situation?

  My vote is yes. Regardless of the outcome of the election, our president is our president until January 20. Mr. Trump can build a hotel in less time. Orange Man Bad can certainly do some of his famout house cleaning in that time frame. Dare we dream for another four years?
