There are many Freepers who work for the federal government who are hard working decent people. To wish that people lose their livelihood just because they work for Uncle Sam is cruel.
It’s also cruel to demand that private sector taxpayers fork over ever more taxes to keep the government beast fed to its satisfaction.
We be the Weebees.
We be here when you come. We be here when you go.
They will reduce, if they reduce at all, through attrition and buy-outs.
Maybe. However, federal government workers earn substantially more in salary and benefits than those with equivalent jobs in the private sector. Years back, it was just the opposite. People still worked for the government for reasons of pensions and job stability. That equivalence needs to be restored.
I’ve a feeling that most of the FReepers who work for the federal government actually work in agencies that have useful and needed functions.
If the Department of Education were cut or eliminated, how many FReepers do you think that would affect?
When you hear Democrats talk about job growth they mean hiring more government workers not the private sector.
Those Freepers can join other Freepers who lost their jobs in the last 8 years. The stats don’t back up your statement.
Pray America woke
To wish that people lose their livelihood just because they work for Uncle Sam is cruel.

When their livelihood is crushing the rest of us I’m all for them losing their extravagantly paid positions.
For all my life I’ve been treated to libs proclaiming how necessary and extraordinarily talented everyone that works for the fedgov is... and how they are underpaid despite all the benefits , paid pensions , paid sick time and such they have in addition to being paid double what anyone doing a similar job in the private sector would earn.
If they’re so damn valuable then they should be happy to be set free to earn what they’re really worth.
“There are many Freepers who work for the federal government who are hard working decent people.”
Unfortunately, they work for an indecent federal government usurping powers the US Constitution never gave them.
