That’s a good one. I’d say federal union workers are all in all the laziest and the worst.

Just look at any DOT work site. YOu see far too many guys there, and the delays in getting work done tremendous.

I am quite sure the private sectors can do it cheaper and quicker and better.

““President Trump’s federal hiring freeze will result in more government waste as agencies are forced to hire high-priced contractors to do the work that federal employees can and should be doing.”

So why the hell are you people NOT already doing the work to the point where you expect more people to be hired?!?

I’d suggest you bust ass or else you will be next!

Of course, we can expect objective analysis from the AFGE.

Depends on which agencies! Good to freeze than have automatic hiring! Time D.C. Experienced what we have in the hinterlands of the US!

““All Americans should be outraged that President Trump is gutting federal programs and funneling their taxpayer dollars into the hands of less-regulated private companies who answer to their corporate shareholders and not the American people,” Cox said.”

Federal workers answer to the American people? Who knew?

Really? Union bosses are upset because their workers won’t be able to find work now that their beloved Democrats moved all the factories out and illegal immigrants in?

AAAHHHHaaaaaaa[gassssp]hehehe!!

...actually increase taxpayer costs by forcing agencies to hire more expensive contractors to do work that civilian government employees are already doing for far less,

If the work can be outsourced, why can't it be privatized? Why can't it be given back to the states to provide?

That is an absolute lie. Not only the freeze but the RIF will save taxpayers BILLIONS !!!Americans will be liberated not “hurt” . We are draining this swamp and you parasites need to suck it up buttercup. Get real jobs at real wages not bloated over paid jobs for the politically correct.

“President Obama will set a record for the size of the basic federal workforce, leaving office with more than 1.4 million people collecting government salaries in the civilian agencies in 2017, according to the budget he delivered to Congress on Tuesday.”

Anything else is just more liberal lies....

Ok, I think I get it ... in bizarro world:
“Trumps’s federal hiring freeze breaks his campaign promise of creating more jobs.”

Contractor jobs may be up
They hire by the project, they hire by skill, they hire only what they need when they need it, and the government doesn’t have these people around virtually unfireable for the next 30 years
