It is possible to clean out DC’s deeply corrupt Augean stables

Beginning in January 2025, if all goes well, we will have a new president on a mission from the people to clean up the mess in Washington.  Congress will have prepared the way.  The corruption purge in Washington will have arrived.  The final phase of the seven-year plan will begin.

Reform in Washington isn’t new, but this time, the preparation is different. The people have been battling locally and pushing Congress to expose federal corruption. When the new president takes office, the corrupt will be vulnerable as they never have been before.

Taking a bulldozer to the place is satisfying, but a precision brutal purge of the corruption will leave something in place to rebuild.  There are three layers of attack.  The old leadership must be removed.  New leadership must be installed in departments that have become government protectors rather than public servants.  Government regulation and government spending must be reformed.

The new administration will need to act decisively on Day One.  A stack of executive orders should be signed that rescind every executive order signed in the previous administration.  Keep nothing.  End them all.  Anything that really needs to be done can get new E.O.s.

Also on Day One, every presidential appointee should be fired.  Career employees who can be removed should be furloughed and leave their positions immediately awaiting final action.  They will have their security clearance revoked or put on hold.  Everyone removed will have to turn in access passes and keys.  Each one will be individually evaluated for the possibility of being retained, but for now, they are out.  These terminations should be done without remorse, and no reason need be given.  This is the top-layer attack.  The new administration should ignore the screams from the media and Congress.
