There are many Freepers who work for the federal government who are hard working decent people. To wish that people lose their livelihood just because they work for Uncle Sam is cruel.

LOL. Big risk for Trump.

He just lost the 2016 D.C. vote by D:92.8% to R:4.1%.

This could easily go to D:98% R:2% if he carries out this radical plan.

Do it Donald. We can take the “D.C. Hit”.

Attrition alone would make a huge difference.

I worked for the feds for 30 years. Reagan imposed a hiring freeze that lasted about 10 years. People who retired, resigned, died or left for other reasons, couldn’t be replaced by new people, their positions had to be filled from within. There was a dramatic drop in the number of employees, and it did increase the workload on each employee. That was not really a bad deal, when applying for promotions, we didn’t have to compete with outsiders, plus with all the work to be done, no one was ever fired unless the were really really bad. Reagan also did not give us our yearly Cost of Living raise for about 4 years.

I’d like to see them forget even the “penny plan” and go for the “nickel plan”, at least!

Great idea but must be addressed in a thorough manner that considers blocking creative funding possibilities. For example, some years back the state was in the process of being trimmed in a similar way. The local state building felt it needed a geek and bought my contract. The intent was to keep me in my role until freezes were suspended then hire me directly. Until that time would come, I was from a budget perspective not personnel, I was “equipment”.

At least sack the 40% who watch porn all day and cash big checks for doing nothing useful. Too bad we can’t take away their cushy retirements too. Future federal retirement benefits should be trimmed to match what employees in the private sector get, and that should be done in the NEXT YEAR, before Congress starts running for election in 2018.

They need to start with the Department of “Justice” who told Denver that there were too many Americans working for the Sheriff’s office and that they needed to hire more illegal aliens. If I was Trump, I’d be personally deliver “bankers boxes” to each one of those bastards and escort them from the building.

I’m a fed worker — there is a lot of dead wood in the government because you can’t fire people. Too many “protected classes” (LGBT, race) as well as some former military folks who claim disability but have never seen a battlefield. (I’m not talking about the ones who are truly disabled). I worked with this one woman who was “disabled” — she never showed up for work and then would claim PTSD if confronted — BUT SHE NEVER WAS IN COMBAT OR IN AN AOR! She was stationed CONUS.
It is frustrating to the folks that really care and do a good job to support our soldiers — you get the same pay and benefits as most of the slugs. Then you get the added benefit of being “punished by performance”, as you get more work piled on you because you care and the slug won’t do it. So, hopefully Trump’s administration will make it easier to get rid of the deadwood — it will do a lot for morale of the good workers and save money for the taxpayers!

crackdown on publicly funded union business.

Rescind JFK's executive order and get rid of federal unions altogether.

Another thing that would help immeasurably would be acquisition reform. There is so much red tape to be able to purchase or develop anything. Half of the acquisition workforce’s job is figuring out how to navigate the tons of regulations and acquisition rules. It makes it very difficult to get things out to the users.

Every regulator is motivated to make themselves indispensable and create an empire to validate their existence.

Throw out all the non-value added and counter-productive rules of the last 10 years and shut down the offices that wrote and enforced them.

First, it saves Billions in tax dollars.
Second, it opens the door add TRILLIONS in productive work and the associated tax base.
