Trump has the luxury of getting qualified people.
Day 1: Fire all political appointees.
Make the rest of the Civil Service think hard about early retirement.
More than 4,000 political appointees,...
This article just started off bad right from the start.
whittle it down to 1000 and i bet no one misses the other 3k
This is rediculous. The government has become too big.
Beware the moles.
I’ve been in the software industry for 30+ yrs doing everything from design to development. Analysis to CTO.
I’d like to help out in two areas; the Wall and working on improving the vote in this country.
Who do we reach out to if we want to help?
For Trump's political appointees, whom will also need qualifications beyond ideological loyalty, how about a few guys to just look at security clearances of current officials leaving government service.
I am especially thinking of current White House policy czars, such as the ~33 imams placed in foreign policy positions - as “outreach advisers”.
Would love to see the communications from these guys. I would bet that the paltry nature of what documentation is left to be cleaned finer than Hill's email system.
Not a yoga email among them.
I want the job of replacing the Obama and Biden official photos in every federal office with Trump and Pence photos.
I would probably have to commute all the way from West Virginia if I wanted to work in DC.
Most of the federal civil service is crying.
Except at ICE and CBP - the veteran line officers there are probably grinning from ear to ear, looking forward to being able to do their job for the first time in a decade.
Trump should do what Reagan could not (because he didn’t have Congress), cut the size of the FedGov Leviathan.
What about all those federal employees that said they would quit if Trump were elected?
GTFO!
Govt GS-8-12 types make about $75-150 thousand annually. Clinton won that salary range big-time. Bloated government payroll of salaried wonks and Czars. Get them Off the boat! They’ll surely run back to academia or lastly to McDonalds. Purge em!
I seem to remember that Lincoln ran the entire Civil War with less than 100 government employees.
I would like to see Mike Rowe of “Dirty Jobs” get a post in the Trump Administration. He is a straight-up American who knows the value of work and common sense.
They need to fix the confirmation process before you will get the best qualified to take these jobs. It is really public service and we thank people for their service by investigating them, suing them and slandering them.
Mr. President-elect Trump, appoint non-politicians to as many positions as possible. That was one major reason we voted for YOU.
I’m a civil engineer with 30 years construction experience. II’d love to work on The Wall or transportation initiatives, especially cutting red tape to get shit DONE!
If a Freeper has any of the needed skills or knows reliable people who do, they should be swarming to these jobs. One of the biggest issues in the Govt is the same set of people keep passing these jobs back and forth from admistration to administration.. This is a golden opportunity to help drain the swamp.
