Is the USA entering another 'RED SCARE' scenario i.e. firing gov't employees on suspicion only?

That history repeats itself is a worthy watchphrase that allows 'people' - especially governments to refer back to what happened so as not to repeat the same mistakes. However, without that 'due diligence' of determining what errors were committed and just forging ahead in an uncharted and haphazard manner, much harm can be done: The article here talks about what happened in the 1950s when the US government closed it's mind and opened the doors of its institutions and literally kicked innocent people out into the street.

Trump/Musk are getting rid of things with little to no oversight - that's the problem.

@zonavar68 2 second search for you. Does your mom allow you to research these things?

@sunsporter1649 ".... and the fox guards the henhouse..." - Yup, some oversight!

@JollyRoger So it is your opinion more of these should be in charge of disbursing the American taxpayers hard earned money?

@sunsporter1649 REALLY? This is brilliant of you Sunburn! - "What? Me Worry" Alfred E. Neuman all grown up and dressed in a suit??? I love it!!

But, no, you've really drawn on the character of the new administration's inductees.
