Thanks in part to our two Utah senators, we have Betsy DeVos as the secretary of education. Supposedly, Donald Trump was going to drain the swamp of all the rich people to rid us of people with special interests. DeVos is a billionaire who for decades has funded the swamp creatures so many voted to get rid of. She bought her way into a job she isn't qualified to do.
Our senators talk like they are independent of Trump and will speak up when they disagree with his policies. I've seen nothing but rubber-stamping everything the new president wants, no matter how bizarre or poor the executive order or nominee or outrageous tweet. Integrity, backbone and good sense are all out the window with our rubber-stamp senators.
