Trump Effect - Federal Government Auto-Balances Deficit Before Even First Vote Counted

by sundance

Fantastic News !!! This is beyond stunning. 25% of Federal Government Employees agree to quit their jobs if Donald Trump wins the presidency. This action would thereby guarantee a balanced budget within the first fiscal year of his administration.

(Via Executive Government) Donald Trump leads the Republican field among federal employees, but many still say they would never work for him.

One in four federal workers would consider leaving their jobs if Trump were elected president, according to a new survey conducted by the Government Business Council, Government Executive Media Group's research arm. About 14 percent of respondents said they would definitely consider leaving federal service under President Trump, while an additional 11 percent said they might.

The findings indicate those leaving government would come from agencies’ top ranks, as a majority of respondents were in General Schedule positions GS-13 and higher.

Nearly as many Democrats said they would consider leaving in a Trump administration as would definitely stay, the survey found. Among Democrats, 42 percent said they would consider leaving, while 48 percent would not. Just 8 percent of Republican feds would consider refusing to work in a Trump presidency. (read more)

Cute story. Unfortunately liberals talk the talk but don’t walk the walk. I don’t expect any departures beyond the ordinary.

Cute satire from phony journalist “sundance,” who happens to be a paid member of Trump’s campaign.

I agree. I won’t vote for Trump, under any circumstances.

I’ve already pointed out that Trump is popular because he isn’t afraid of firing worthless human baggage. I’ve been to Washington, I’m tired of paying people to watch porn.

Good luck getting those fat overpaid drones to quit their place at the trough. All talk and no action is the average civil servant. :-)

Substantiate your allegation or retract it.

People just don't like him as a person.

That must be why he's leading in all the polls.

anyone else believe the strange type of ‘survey’ taken here? Did anyone ever hear of other types of ‘surveys’ that Federal employees took like this?

Something smells fishy here.

thanks, but I do not see a series of other ‘surveys’ in this link.

And that is what makes me suspicious.

Federal workers: “You want to pay me what I am worth? There is no way I am working that cheap! Outta here.”

I prefer Cruz but can definitely see a lot of benefits to Trump’s candidacy.

I’m a Trump guy but I congratulate Ted Cruz on his victory tonight.
