For those who are too young to remember how the last attempt to drain the swap went. Be prepared for lots of boo hoo stories in the MSM.

Exactly. When dimoKKKRATS are being fired it is all boo-hoo from the msm. When it is Republicans being let go that is a good thing according to the msm.

thanks for posting this. I have been worried about how he is going to get rid of so many union worker who are protected in the govt.

The story of the workers who stole like 400k from the VA and still have their jobs just blows my mind.

Wilbur Ross & Carl Ichan will be ruthless in draining the swamp

we can expect 800,000 non-essential federals to be gone by 2021

In the end though we will all suffer a bit or more than a bit. I am not pained by draining the swamp. Not one iota.

I am concerned though that it will be done without redution in cost.

This is RIF in the real world:

Typically the RIF-ees get escorted to the door and maybe join their fellow newly-unemployed for a last drink at the cheap bar down the street.

I survived the Reagan stuff. I was just out of college and I recall explaining to my kids how tough it was to find a job. I worked at the grocery store for six months before I found a “real” job. I should have stayed at the grocery store!

I recently came through this “recession” having closed my business and attempted to find a job in my old field. Finally after two and a half years I took a job similar to that which I got in 1985.

One day, when I did something for my current box rather quickly, I explained to him: Many years ago, in this situation, I was your boss’ boss. I don’t think he really read my resume! It was funny.

I am happy and I am productive. I am helping my boss got through a merger and they are cutting his responsibilities in half. I used to be the M&A guy for my field in my old life.

I am grateful to have this opportunity, but it ain’t easy out there for mid-50+ white guys looking for executive positions.

Won’t hurt some of the overpaid political asskisser hacks to learn how to do some useful work for a change - typing might be something they might be able to learn

But, under Obama logic, “You will have more FAMILY TIME”!

Kind of the Peter principle in reverse. Too sweet.
