Politico ^ | 1 February 2016 | Nick Gass

About 1-in-4 federal employees would consider leaving their jobs if Donald Trump is elected president, according the results of a recent survey conducted by the Government Business Council.

Overall, about 2-in-3, or 67 percent said they would not think about leaving the federal government if Trump becomes president, but 14 percent said they would and 11 percent said they would "maybe" leave. Just 8 percent said they did not know. The share of Democrats who said they would leave is higher, with 42 percent indicating that they would exit or could exit.

Among all of those surveyed, 59 percent said they would be embarrassed to have Trump as president, compared to 49 percent who said the same for Hillary Clinton, 45 percent who would be embarrassed with Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, 37 percent with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and just 20 percent for Florida Sen. Marco Rubio.

Of those surveyed, 42 percent identified as Republicans, 31 percent as Democrats, while 8 percent said they did not know and 19 percent declined to state.

I love hearing all these phony rich celebrities talk about how the rich are evil and that America needs to become Socialist. Okie Dokie, I have a GREAT idea..take 90 percent of the wealth of each of these celebrities that love Sanders and Clinton and use that money for free tuition for every student in America who wants to go to college for free, let’s see how these celebrities like Moore, Surandan, and others will feel about their wealth being taken away from them(And yeah, also fork over the dough in those off shore bank accounts too)

Love that idea.
They should give their 90% seeing as they want Sanders, and then be forced to pay it. Love it.

What is the betting that they would try and get out of it.

Let it be so!!! The loss of 25% would be a great thing. It would likely be the dead weight anyway.

That would be a great start to the budget crisis. 25% gone and he could let go another 50%.

That’s great and will reduce the size of the budget.
I do hope they speak Spanish to be qualified to work in the food industries for the rest of their careers.

60% OF GOVERNMENT IS PURE FAT.......

Not to mention unconstitutional.

The most powerful argument against this toxic government isn't based on morals or sensibility, as strong as those arguments may be.

The strongest argument for cutting at least 80%+ of the feds is THE LAW, which is the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the Land and the Ruler over the feds and outlaws like Obama.

One can only hope.

But I doubt it. They love their cushy government jobs, pensions, benefits, etc.

Among all of those surveyed, 59 percent said they would be embarrassed to have Trump as president...

By that reasoning, all the folks that were embarrassed by the current Zero in the office must have already quit...

Wow, that would be ideal! Hope they are centered in the Department of Education, the Department of Energy, ATF, State Department and the EPA.

All the anti-American globalists, take a hike.
