Doing it right, by god!
More evidence that the Trump team understands how the world works. If you're going to make change, you need to push IMMEDIATELY and RELENTLESSLY on ALL FRONTS. Blitzkrieg. Overwhelm the bureaucratic enemy, give them no time for sabotage.
When the Trumpians passed over McMorris for a cabinet post, I wondered if they were serious, wondered if they would skip the crucially important fronts of dams and farms. Now I can stop wondering.
Evidence 1: The list of 50 top infrastructure projects includes repairing and improving several major hydro dams and canal/lock systems.
Evidence 2: They've hired two Wash state legislators for EPA mid-level positions. One is temporary, presumably to help with the transition push. The permanent one is Brian Dansel, from the northeast part of Wash. I wasn't familiar with his record, so I checked the legislature's website. Dansel has been focusing on protecting ranchers from the Federal forced invasion of "endangered" "species".
No doubt about it, they're pushing on ALL important fronts.
Another semi-related detail: As part of the pipeline push, Trump requires the builders to use American-made steel. This won't make the oil companies happy because they have been using Korean and Chinese steel and letting Chinese workers build large sections of the system in advance. This causes bizarre complications and long delays but the expense and trouble are necessary to fulfill the American corporate imperative of universal treason. NEVER HIRE AMERICANS, NEVER BUY AMERICAN MATERIALS. CHINA IS GOD.
Speculative sidenote: Maybe this shows their real reason for conferring with McMorris. Get details on dams that need work, find aspiring young politicians who can help rebuild the country.
