I’d say at least 93 percent of all Federal employees (and state employees too) are nonessential.

State governments have their own environmental regulatory agencies. 100% of EPA is redundant and nonessential.

The Entire EPA is Nonessential.The Republicans should have defunded that years ago but they refuse to.That’s why we are having to deal with all of this climate control BS. and gasoline that more expensive than it should be.
Congress Needs to Abolish the EPA.

The essential employees are the ones with a continuing contribution to dumBO.

OK 90% of local and county employees. Per my tag line I think every government employee should be taxed at 95% of gross let them pass funny money around to one another hopefully they will quit and find something useful to do.

The EEOC and Department of Education is 100% non-essential. They function as affirmative action hiring halls.

The problem is that people who are qualified to work in the EPA would have sericous issues with being in a productive environment.
After all, there are limited needs for doorstops and wheel chocks.

That’s why the sequester was so important. The talking heads and liberals squawked about it being the end of the world as we know it. It happened and... nothing.
Now people are on to this game. A tactic once understood is no longer a tactic.
