Four of the five richest counties in the U.S. are Washington, D.C. suburbs — Loudoun, Fairfax and Arlington in Virginia and Howard in Maryland — so it is unsurprising that many Americans question the federal government taking money to prop up far-off elites?

One solution to the federal government being too expensive and out-of-touch is moving parts of it away from Washington, D.C., according to House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Jason Chaffetz.

Chaffetz introduced his proposal as a legislative resolution rather than a mandate on the executive branch because it expresses “the sense of the House of Representatives that offices attached to the seat of government should not be required to exercise their offices in the District of Columbia.”

It's a nice gesture, but it's meaningless.

In this day and age of digital communications, it doesn't really matter where the office actually is. The f'n bureaucrats will dirty up wherever they happen to land.

I think it's far better to keep the swamp slime where it is. You can build a wall around it if it gets out of hand. And have the Messicans pay for it.  :tongue:
