About time someone took this head on!
The aging federal work force means a hiring freeze will have a major impact in just two or three years—the trick is to stick to it.
Trump’s hostile takeover may well save this flailing government and out future.
Knowing how Trump negotiates, if he can get 10%, he’ll begin to negotiate for more.
I certainly hope this comes to fruition. The government is too big, too expensive, too intrusive, too oppressive, too intrusive and too damn corrupt. Slash it!
“Anti immigration wall?” Wrong? I had to look twice to see what publication from which this came. It is not anti immigration. It’s anti ILLEGAL immigration.
As for the budget cuts, we all know that the REAL cuts aren't in discretionary spending, the REAL cuts have to go against NON-DISCRETIONARY spending, the biggest parts of the Federal Budget. That means Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, etc..
Cutting Discretionary Spending is really nothing more than "trimming around the edges." It's good to do it, but those cuts aren't going to be anywhere meaningful enough to get the deficit and debt back down as they simply aren't large enough.
let them try to pull that “smaller increase is a cut” horse$hit with Trunp.
This is incredibly important. get rid of the Leftist dead wood.
So.Much.WINNING!!!!
Will make all those theatre and womens studies degrees that landed government service jobs regret not going STEM.
Kinda makes you think that if Jack Welch were a decade younger, Trump would name him to head up the OMB.
Q: How many federal employees work in DC?
A: About half, LOL!
Tell me again, Bill Kristol, how he’s nothing like Reagan.
I hope the 10% is actual spending cuts and not “cuts” from proposed spending.
Re-arranging chairs on the Titanic. The only thing that will work is closing down WHOLE DEPARTMENTS. Otherwise, the next president will just expand the gov’t workforce again.
Come on, Trump. Don’t waste your opportunity for REAL change!
