About 1-in-4 federal employees would consider leaving their jobs if Donald Trump is elected president, according the results of a recent survey conducted by the Government Business Council.

Overall, about 2-in-3, or 67 percent said they would not think about leaving the federal government if Trump becomes president, but 14 percent said they would and 11 percent said they would "maybe" leave. Just 8 percent said they did not know. The share of Democrats who said they would leave is higher, with 42 percent indicating that they would exit or could exit.

Among all of those surveyed, 59 percent said they would be embarrassed to have Trump as president, compared to 49 percent who said the same for Hillary Clinton, 45 percent who would be embarrassed with Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, 37 percent with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and just 20 percent for Florida Sen. Marco Rubio.

Of those surveyed, 42 percent identified as Republicans, 31 percent as Democrats, while 8 percent said they did not know and 19 percent declined to state.

Well, we do have the military. We have military installations. We have veteran’s hospitals.

There are some thing we need, but you and I share the same goal. Get rid of everything the government does that the Constitution doesn’t give it a mandate to do.

So a Trump win would cause an increase in unemployment?

Finally, some thing good about him winning.

While this would be a good start, I call pure BS. These little prissy drama queens aren’t leaving voluntarily.

This is better news than self-deportation of illegals. This is a 100% reduction in parasites. Hopefully none of them will be replaced. At least most illegals do honest work and are not parasites.

This is bullsh**. Federal employees won’t leave their federal job. They know there’s only crap jobs out there. They know they hit the gravy train with what they got.

“25% would be a good start.”

Add that to the agencies cut and those staffs and we get back a few billion. That’s “build the wall” budget.

They say that but won’t.

They do not want him due to the fact he would make them work.

I know one guy who works for the feds and is supposed to work at home on Fridays. Like hell he does, he and the wife takes a long weekend every week while we pay for it.
