Joni is a fucking idiot [View all]
She wants to move Federal agencies away from the DC area now
U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, reintroduced a bill last week that would allow and almost ensure the exodus of federal agencies from the nations capital.
The SWAMP (Strategic Withdrawal of Agencies for Meaningful Placement) Act would strip a slice of U.S. Code that requires federal agencies be located in Washington, D.C., according to a release from Ernst.
The act also would establish a competitive bidding process for states to try and win agencies away from the capital. The Executive Office of the President, the Department of Defense and all other national security-related agencies that must be close in proximity to lawmakers would be excluded.
Washington-based federal agencies and bureaucrats make important decisions that impact the lives of Iowans and all Americans, Ernst said in the release. Yet, how can these rule-makers fully consider and understand the effects of their decisions when those who are most impacted by their rules and regulations are out-of-sight and out-of-mind?
You know Joni that as Ms. Rosenberg said you're not going to get your most talented people to relocate to Bum Fuck, Idaho when their lives and families and spouses with more lucrative jobs all live in the DC area.
