Wisconsin has lost 3,700 manufacturing jobs since Trump took office. Rep Derrick Van Orden let this happen, and supported Trump’s policies which raised avg household prices by $3000/year and stripped their healthcare. Wisconsin, don’t send Van Order back to Congress.

This is the grim, depressing reality Trump has made of American life. Instead of waking up on a Saturday, relaxing and spending time with your loved ones, you now have to watch American towns being ravaged and its citizens being murdered by violent secret police.

The tech bros assume there's massive fraud and abuse in government because that's how they do it at their work. It's all projection.
I did not find the federal government to be rife with waste, fraud and abuse. I was expecting some more easy wins. I was hoping for opportunity to cut waste, fraud and abuse. And I do believe that there is a lot of waste. There's minimal amounts of fraud. And abuse, to me, feels relatively nonexistent. And the reason is — I think we have a bias as people coming from the tech industry where we worked at companies, you know, such as Google, Facebook, these companies that have plenty of money, are funded by investors and have lots of people kind of sitting around doing nothing.
