There’s your problem right there bubba.
I have mainly been in the private sector. I have always known that my employment is at the whim of the owners. I have seen layoffs happen just to raise stock prices prior to a merger, or sometimes “just because” an Exec read something in a magazine and decided to try it.
I worked for a state one summer. It was an eye opening experience. I got chewed out for doing my job well and ahead of schedule.
Sorry. The real world hurts.
Federal leeches have earned nothing but my scorn.
Agreed wholeheartedly.
Damn Straight!!
Trump got my vote to slash and burn. I want to see lots of slashing and burning.
And he better slash...and he better burn...and any RINO that gets in his way needs to be dealt with severely.
ie dont drain our liberal swamp
Remember that old “Look for the Union label” commercial jingle? Time to rewrite it as “Look out for the DC bubble.”
They have it exactly backwards. The Federal employees should respect the taxpayers who pay their salaries.
We don’t need hundreds of porn watchers, those who don’t show up for months or years but still get paid, and the ideologues who work in the IRS and persecute conservatives. We want Pres. Trump to drain that swamp.
These people lack 20-20 vision.
1. 20 - number of trillions of dollars that the federal government owes as the “National Debt” and its now way over 100% of GDP - https://www.treasurydirect.gov/NP/debt/current
2. 20 - percentage ceiling of GDP - the historical limit that has never been breached on federal revenues - https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/FYFRGDA188S
Here is another “20” stat. It seems like federal outlays haven’t gone below 20% since Obama became President - https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/FYONGDA188S
Here is another stat. On top of outlays the federal government has to spend money on interest because our politicians the past 2+ decades have refused to balanace the budget.

Just imagine what would happen if interest rates went back to normal or up to where they were in the 1980’s.

Ah, no.
Federal bureaucrats, in general, are subhuman excrement. The ones working at regulatory agencies are a plague on the nation, a greater threat to liberty of Americans than the Saudis, China, Iran, NK combined.
Recently, I believe that the number of those working in government surpassed those working in manufacturing. Terrible.
Agreed!
Yes. Agreed.
They will need retraining for the retail service industry where they are tens of thousands of host and barrista jobs waiting for them.
The new President is a businessman and likely understands the difference between “value-added” and “non-value-added” employees. The latter, a.k.a. “deadwood”, should be removed.
Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall is Deputy Secretary of Energy and a BS artist.
FEDGOV employs hundreds of thousands of freeloaders who don’t do a goddamned thing and collect a huge paycheck for doing so.
The party is over Lizzie, go piss up a rope.
no more retirement for federal employees, folks want the end of their tax dollars to pay for benefits of others they can’t get and a country with all gmint workers ..I want the federal government to no longer have the right to raise funds, period, all states should have balanced budget ammendments and whatever is left over, the states can decide what they wish to give for federal programs..
military, protection of borders..basic functions designed by the founders..
agreed, we are barely in the war, slash and burn time..force all issues down their throat with Congress immediately..no mercy..the opposition will no longer show mercy, they will kill americans to get their way, they certainly already have
