That will eliminate the need to tell nonessential personnel not to report for work every time it snows in D.C.!
Is it “shrank”? I thought it was “shrunk”.
It’s hard being the guy that has to rescue an organization. Moral gets worse before it gets better. It’s hard to be proud of that which most people despise. If you survive the cut and can do the job, it tends to pay off in the end.
Stick with it, government worker. Make America Great Again!
(Hee hee hee)
A half million federal employees make over $100,000 a year and $30,000 make more than any US governor.
That’s 30,000
With TWO MILLION federal employees still living off the taxpayers, getting paid much more than those who actually work for a living, we certainly don’t have to worry about too few leeches. A goodly number spend their days watching porn because they have nothing else to occupy their time.
While I wish it were true, its not. A few hundred fewer federal employees means nothing. When you get to 50,000 you just starting to make a small dent. The reality is that there are likely to be several thousands of open positions due to the economy. Every major company has this issue. If he could put in a freeze and ask every department to choose between raises and more employees that would be a start too.
In most large corporations we are commanded to both grow production and shrink costs every year. The government should try that.
It could never pass, but we truly need a constitutional amendment along the following lines to keep the government in check.
Congress cannot delegate any of its lawmaking authority to any other entity. All rules, laws, regulations must be read in its entirety and this cannot be waved, with a quorum of at least 90% of Congress, then voted. if passed, must be signed by the President before any such actions can be implemented or enforced in any way. To repeal, not change, a rule, law or regulation can be done with a simple vote and signed by the President.
That would keep Congress and the 1000s of government agencies to a limited change agenda each year.
Win!!!! Now, let’s get 100% of the Education Department employees(?) to quit...
Cut jobs, not just employees. Otherwise the bureaucracy will start rehiring as soon as President Trump finishes his second term.
If the agencies are replacing them with full-time contractors, there’s no difference.
It’s very possible that many of those feds retired from the federal gig and came back as contractors.
.....And step two, they hire contractors to do the same work at three times the price. And call it “efficient.”
They key is to stop providing the underlying service. Something politicians are very loathe to do. Genuine austerity never funded a politicians future career on K street.
Good. Now keep it up.
Hell yeah Trump did!
Flip the formula back to its original intent to establish and constitute a People-Over-Government entity whose purpose was/is the expansion of individual liberty.
Every little bit helps.
What is the average total Compensation cost for each Federal Employee, $150,000 a Year?
For each 10 gone, $1.5 Million bucks a year saved. Well, if they Retired we’re still on the hook. LOL
