My taxes, your taxes and the Chinese are funding their disposable income and unneeded jobs. They are redundant and in the EPA they are actively sabotaging our energy production and economy. Nuke the Department of Education and those useless workers will just have to find work in the dreaded private sector, same as the rest of us
There is no work in the private sector...
I think you could cut 2/3 of the USG civilians. But remember, many of the so-called producers in the private sector contract with the federal government. I work with them. To outward appearances, they are very successful in their chosen private sector fields. They make high six or low seven figures, with stock options. Yet many of them don’t know very much at all, except how to latch onto a government cost contract that allows them to bill overhead & administration costs back to the taxpayer. Drive around the Dulles Airport area sometime. The big buildings & houses that you see are largely paid for by the taxpayer.
