Biden is wanting to keep corrupt government employees, probably for the donations they provide

The Biden administration is working to make it so it is harder to get rid of the extreme amount of employees in the federal government. There are 2.2 million government employees, with many being proven to have embezzled money, allowed contractors to, or helped with crime in some manner. Government employees have allowed for the deaths of American citizens, destroyed lives, and have proven to be a burden, all while being more protected from being fired than any other employee in the world.

  There comes a point where the federal government needs to let the tribes handle their own education, as the Interior Department is proving to be bad at the job. The school buildings of several tribes are crumbling because of rules that make no sense that Interior put into place. That means that the children being educated are dealing with dangerous conditions, which means they must also deal with other situations no child should. Federal government education at its best.

Specifically, we found that work on deferred maintenance has been delayed, in part, because IA used a $2,500 monetary threshold, rather than the type of maintenance or repair needed, when designating...
