[quote=spdrun]Merits of the deal aside, I always chuckle at the phrase “draining the swamp.” A swamp is, in fact, a thriving, robust ecosystem. Draining one reduces it to a much less resilient monoculture.
Sort of what Trump is trying to do in DC, but I don’t think he realizes that the phrase is more apt than he intended.[/quote]
I don’t know if you would want to align DC to biological cultures – if so, it might be more like what may be found in a cesspool or sewer, which may have its uses – but one probably doesn’t want to drink nor eat from it. It would also not be healthy for anyone to walk through unprotected.
I think that sterilizing DC is better than to even allow a monoculture – or any other type of biological culture that only seeks to preserve its own needs.
