Decertify the mafia/government unions, and fire the 80% of federal “workers” who are do-nothing drones.
How big is the federal payroll anyway?
A quick Google says about 3 million non-military Federal employees. Assuming a median salary of $60K a year ($50+bennies) gives an annual salary cost of $180 million or a fifth of a trillion dollars (probably much more).
Not counting full-time contractors, the number of which no one knows b/c contractors are expense items (or capitalized as part of a larger contract) and no different that computers or desk chairs as far as accounting is concerned.
