Can't lose position. Nice.
Whatever the antithesis of sympathy is, it's the feeling we get when Little Hitlers enact and enforce regulations that sap productivity, confiscate wealth arbitrarily and threaten, coerce, harass and annoy.
They are FINALLY getting a taste of their own medicine. May they choke on it.
After 30 days, it is clear that most are not needed and definitely not missed. Lay them all off, eventually pay them (Congress already said they would) for up to the layoff. Then, let them collect unemploy ment benefits and go out and find new work just like everyone else.
Drip...drip....drip....drip....
We are going to start seeing frayed nerves very soon.
This is a great opportunity to get rid of the dead weight.
So, let me get this correct.
An appointed bureaucrat has set policy for the entire Federal government. Did he do this with prior approval of his sole boss, President Trump? Or did it to support his subordinates which is the bottom line job of ALL bureaucratic heads?
After proving that roughly 800,000 employees aren’t needed to have an effective government why are we now on the hook for their salary and benefits for an undetermined period of time? What other business could afford this level of unproductive overhead?

Trump is about to start making government smaller.
Nobody else has ever achieved that. Not Reagan.
NOBODY!
Obama increased the ranks of govt bureaucrats massively, as part of his Daddy State solution. Seems Trump could at least let those positions go, at a minimum.
What shutdown?
Agencies have always had the ability to create these plans.
This has nothing to do with the shutdown.
The GOP Congress last session couldn’t get the wall funded? Now we have this FUBAR dance with DemRats. Eff them all.
sorry to burst everyone’s bubble but while there may be some merit to a RIF in some departments I see no reason for anyone here to get excited over the prospect. Organizations will simply refuse to comply, drag their feet or get a judge in Hawaii to enjoin the process. Believing this will happen is the pipe dream. I don’t know the law as well as I should but I doubt it was written with a “shutdown furlough” in mind. That would be position one in the lawsuit.
Mulvaney has been working on major guv downsizing proposals (that of course went nowhere in Congress) for years now. I would imagine he has worked out the mechanisms for getting them enforced internally. I am not aware of Trump still having overtly Never Trumper cabinet officials (Mrs. McConnell, the Chinese agent, of course has her spot still, but she doesn’t resist overtly) at this point either.
Sounds like the Gravy Train is coming to the end of it’s run.
End of the Line.
Hello my baby, hello my honey
Hello my ragtime gal...

The President just summoned back 10s of thousands of furloughed workers. That doesn’t seem like a step one would take before implementing a large RIF.
