To the editor: The headline “Trump administration backtracks on eliminating thousands of national parks employees” tells solely a part of the story. All that you must know concerning the Trump administration may be summed up by two actions in current days.
The primary is that probationary employees within the Nationwide Park Service have nonetheless misplaced their jobs, cleansing bogs and the like. The second is that the State Division could have been preparing to spend $400 million on armored variations of autos made by Elon Musk’s Tesla till the media discovered it within the small print of procurement paperwork.
Feed the wealthy, starve the poor — that’s the actual headline of the Trump administration, each in phrase and deed, each intent and impression.
Subsequent step: big tax cuts for the wealthy as a result of “they” have saved a lot cash decimating the federal authorities.

To the editor: The conservative buddies of fired Yosemite upkeep employee Olek Chmura telling him this wasn’t what they voted for should not have been paying consideration.
What number of instances did they hear Republicans say they needed to shrink the federal authorities to a measurement it could possibly be drowned in a bath? What number of egomaniacs strutting on stage with a chainsaw do they should see?
Folks like Chmura’s conservative buddies mustn’t attempt to assuage their conscience as their family members are laid off and nationwide parks endure with diminished employees by saying this isn’t what they voted for. No, that is precisely what they voted for.

To the editor: The Occasions has printed a number of articles on the “work” that the so-called Division of Authorities Effectivity has been doing.
Based mostly on the division’s persevering with drama and course corrections akin to firing after which rehiring important employees, I’m considering “effectivity” must be ignored of the identify.
