Article from 2017 - Trust the plan ?

[goldstategop]

If the shutdown drags on, its a good time to reduce the size of the federal government.

Get to it.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Where, oh where, will all the affirmative-actioned federal employees find real jobs?

It is RACIST to expect them to find non-affirmative-action jobs!

[DoughtyOne]

You know folks, all the people who like to trash Trump, just aren’t firing on all cylinders. This guy gets it, and gets it in ways some never imagined.

[MeganC]

DRAIN THE SWAMP!!!!!

[Mikemurphy]

This aspect of governing has alluded our great president. It is time to massively reduce spending before it is too late. The disappearance of 800,000 bureaucrats has gone unnoticed by the American people. Tsa can easily be replaced with armed marines (m paid already!!)on every flight and bomb sniffing dogs. We are spending into oblivion and Trump has been sadly missing in this economic suicide. Slash spending now!!

[DarthVader]

RIF is very necessary at this time.

[wally_bert]

Our supreme leadership RIF’d a fair amount of people in my company world-wide just before Christmas.

It was deemed “necessary” as well.

I’m surprised and thankful I didn’t get the chop.

[truthkeeper]

Awesome.

[karnage]

I’ll believe it when I see it.

[wally_bert]

I’d trust and much prefer the Marines instead of the TSA.

MP, MA, or AP’s could take over. Guard and reserve types could do weekends and the two weeks stuff.

[Bitman]

I hear there are plenty of open jobs I the private sector, if you have the skills. After a ‘career’ in government that might be a problem. The private sector usually expects you to earn your keep.

[freedomjusticeruleoflaw]

I love this plan.

[Crucial]

He’s might as well be a Freeper. It’s like hearing my thoughts coming out of the President’s mouth.

[bigbob]

You link isn’t working or they pulled it...

It might surprise you to hear that the private sector has also had quotas imposed upon it.

[freedomjusticeruleoflaw]

Blacks make-up less than 10% of the private workforce, but over 20% of the government workforce... Just sayin’.

[PhiloBedo]

Two birds with one stone?

[Trump_the_Evil_Left]

It’s there, link got messed up in poster’s copy and paste somehow. Working link:
