The federal government puts out a ‘help wanted’ notice as Biden seeks to undo Trump cuts
Washington Post ^ | May 21, 2021 | Lisa Rein

Posted on 05/22/2021 9:00:37 AM PDT by where's_the_Outrage?

The Federal Bureau of Prisons, its staff depleted by Trump-era hiring freezes, is advertising for thousands of jobs. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is bringing on dozens of lawyers after being gutted by four years of budget cuts. The Agriculture Department is moving to replace hundreds of scientists who fled or were forced out by the last administration

At the Justice Department, officials are looking to hire civil rights attorneys — and the Energy Department is recruiting for senior energy efficiency and renewable energy roles that went unfilled when Donald Trump was president.....As Trump rolled back regulations and aimed for a smaller, more targeted footprint, the government shed jobs in regulation, enforcement, civil rights, worker safety and other areas. The number of mine inspectors dropped 22 percent by December 2020 from four years earlier; Internal Revenue Service officers who collect delinquent taxes fell by 19.6 percent; soil scientists tumbled 16.3 percent; and public health educators were cut by 28.6 percent.

In a $1.8 trillion Biden administration spending plan separate from its preliminary budget and covering domestic priorities, the IRS would get an extra $80 billion to revive enforcement against wealthy tax cheats, whom Biden has vowed to target. The enforcement staff would grow by 15 percent each year over a decade.

The solution is to eliminate entire departments. Offer the 1st year savings to the 75 million millennials out there. $75 billion in cuts is worth $1k per millennial. Watch how fast it goes to $750 billion. In return the young folks escape SSI which isn’t there for them.

I think states need to say bye to the federal government....All taxes will be collected by the state and only send to DC what there needed to do...defense...and a few others... No money goes to the IRS... The state gets zero money from DC....and no regulation from DC...

The first thing when you see that something is written by the WP is not read it because not a word they write can be trusted.

The FBI has ruined its brand. They should be replaced by the US Marshals Service. But I guess that over time the Deep State would corrupt the Marshals Service too.

New prison staff: On your first day at work in prison if they ask you if anyone has taken the time to just sit down and talk with Grossberger, say "Do I look like Gene Wilder to you? I'm outta here."

Yeah prison hiring was one of those areas always recruiting, in every state and federally.

Got a email once a week from Boulder workforce/Veteran’s Placement Services about Colorado Bureau of Prisons hiring.

Pay ain’t bad. But working conditions are.

This is why the government is soo liberal.
Conservative administrations are trying to downsize the Government. Liberals are hiring. People who cannot do any real job, tend to look for Government jobs.
This election results in the Government staffed almost only by useless liberals.
It used to be at least that government jobs were poorly paying, but, by now, Government actually pays more than private industry.
The civil service rules are outdated, government cannot afford so many staffers!

Hope these people understand these new jobs are temporary, till the next Republican presidency, coupled with a new conservative congress “out to get some”, cuts the budgets.

Eliminate: Depts of Education, Energy, HUD, HHW, Labor, Agriculture, Transportation.

Leave State, DOJ & Defense in DC

Move Treasury to NYC, Interior to Denver, VA to FL, Commerce to Chicago, Homeland Security to Dallas

The so-called Consumer Protection Financial Bureau is Liz Warren’s creation that is unaccountable to anyone. It is a an important part of her commie dream. Trump should have abolished it, but Congress probably kept him from doing so.

You can always handcuff prisoners to a cable running down an unused railroad track 3k miles long. Backpack with sleeping bag. Leave canned food along the way. I’d even leave them some Thunderbird. Save money.

What’s scary is that the imbeciles who write this crap can actually sleep at night and they also breed.

Trump was trying to bring back some stability to the country after the results of the Bush and Obama regimes.

Biden has undone Trump’s successes in less than a half year, and the country is already suffering.
