If, as I suspect and hope, we discover that most of the government is doing is not only unneeded, but is actually harmful, I think we can expect some bills coming down the pike to permanently shutter a number of agencies and departments and cutting the number of government bureaucrats.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t think UpChuck Schumer and Hiccup Jeffries have really thought things through. They are trying to maximize the harm to America and Americans, and in the end, they might just end up destroying yet another one of their political bases.
