How Trump Disinfects The Administrative State

Posted: 5/17/2019

Here is one of the latest examples how President Trump is tackling Big Government or the administrative state (or drains the swamp):
“The Interior Department will publicly list attorneys’ fees paid out, often to environmental activist groups, for legal settlements, according to a recent memo from Principal Deputy Solicitor Daniel Jorjani. ... the Interior Department will develop a webpage within 30 days to publicly list details of legal settlements and cases, which the agency says is a big step in bringing sunshine to a non transparent practice that the public is largely unaware is happening.” (emphasis added)

These dubious practices under particularly the Obama administration have also become known as “sue and settle”. How many of these environmental activist groups are financed by leftist billionaires and there are more questions ...

By far not only big businesses or well organized business interests receive lavish patronage by Big Government!

Remember the famous Louis D. Brandeis Quote (emphasis added): "Publicity is justly commended as a remedy for social and industrial diseases. Sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants; electric light the most efficient policeman." (I do disagree with Brandeis on his support for labor laws and the welfare state)

Bravo President Trump! Keep up the good work!
