The GOP funding cuts, passed along party lines, would significantly impact state and local efforts to improve drinking water and reduce water pollution. Additional cuts would severely hamper environmental justice projects.
We could save about $10 Billion by scuttling the TSA (the Theatrical Security Asshats).
The TSA serves no purpose other than to shift money around and spend billions on private equipment contracts with cronie corporations. It is theft of public funds to benefit conservative legislators. And this scam costs us almost $10B/year.
So TSA Blue shirts that you see are GS-4 and GS-6 employees (very low pay) that act as security theater. It’s to give the public the idea of security, but they do nothing but make things difficult on purpose to make it seem real. The one person on the floor doing anything is the person monitoring the x-ray machine, and they are in contact with those behind the scenes if they catch anything.
Behind the scenes you have the real TSA. There, you have your GS-11 - GS-14 employees trained in criminal and anti-terrorism. They have monitors that test the air and water for chemicals, they have experts monitoring facial recognition and infrared software scanning every single person who walks into the airport to check the criminal databases with and to check for people above the normal temperature which indicates nervouness. They monitor every door and who is accessing it. They have K-9 units that walk the airport as well.
Thank you for the explanation. So, maybe instead of saving $10B by eliminating it altogether, we can save $4B by eliminating the useless theatrical portion of it.

The TSA you see are low paid employees. The actual TSA behind the scenes actually serve a purpose.
Please feel free to explain.

Conservatives would lose their minds.
