It’s called waste. Now get rid of Unions for government employees.
Unfortunately it’s just a drop in the bucket.
More good news we will NEVER hear from the communications branch of the DNC - MEDIA. MAGA!!!!!!!!

Excellent progress. Only another 15,000 to go!
Mr. President, he left out “don’t” - as in “don’t stop”. Darn autospell...
Bump!
Helluva good start.
The Constitution gives the feds no authority in "environmental " issues. Environmental issues belong to the states
there are supposedly 153,000 or so employees- if everyone of them got say around $100,000 a year, (with everything included)- that was over $1,500,000,000 being spent on nonsense every year- worthless ‘jobs’ (more like hang outs with friends during the day- where they do nothing but spend our money on nonsense)
I say good riddance-
and like someone said- 1000’s either quit or were laid off and the agency was still able to function? How many ‘non essential obs’ were there anyways?
Trump: 700 (as in kicking some major ass!)
The Environmental Protection Agency has shrunk considerably since Scott Pruitt took over as administrator. In fact, the agency is back to President Reagan-era staff levels.
Over 700 EPA personnel have either retired, quit, or taken voluntary buyouts since Pruitt took over...
What draining the swamp looks like.
Trump has followed through on his promises about as much as any man could have.
10% of the way there!
Good start! However, that leaves 15408 - 700 = 14708 to go...

Maybe they can get some personnel who really want to protect the environment and not wage war on capitalism.
Thank you President Trump.
Here is the entire piece
Over 700 EPA personnel have either retired, quit, or taken voluntary buyouts since Pruitt took over, Think Progress found after combing through federal employment statistics. Some are quitting in "disgust."
“There has been a drop of employees of 770 between April and December. While several hundred of those are buyouts, the rest of those are either people that are retiring or quitting in disgust,” Kyla Bennett, director of New England Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER), told ThinkProgress. “Is that number higher than it would normally be? I think it is.”
Liberals were outraged over Pruitt's nomination last year, labeling him a "climate skeptic" and criticizing his ties to the fossil fuel industry.
"Having Scott Pruitt in charge of the US Environmental Protection Agency is like putting an arsonist in charge of fighting fires," Michael Brune, executive director of the Sierra Club, said of the nomination.
Famous environmentalist Leonardo DiCaprio brought his concerns straight to President-elect Trump at Trump Tower, where he and activist Terry Tamminen reportedly prepared a presentation explaining how preserving the environment has a positive effect on the economy.
Pruitt has been credited with influencing Trump's decision to pull the U.S. out of the Paris Climate Agreement. He has also targeted the Obama-era Clean Power Plan and Clean Water Rule. Rolling Stone Magazine accused Pruitt of "quietly tearing down decades of environmental progress."
Yip yip yahoo
What you don’t see reported is that there are at least the same number of support service contractor augmentees to the federal staff whose valuable services the EPA is also doing without. This is where over half of the scandal in these bloated bureaucracies resides.
EPA has been running amuck for a long time and Pruitt is cleaning up a very large mess .... here’s just one “small” one:
EPA Ends $1 Million Taxpayer-Funded Gym Membership Program
