“President Donald Trump is freezing pay for civilian federal workers, cancelling their automatic 2.1 percent raise for 2019. Disregard the howls from union bosses and Democratic politicians. It’s the right decision. “

TOTALLY AWESOME, MR. PRESIDENT!!

Keep going, roll their bloated pensions into the Social Security Trust Fund, and put them all on Obamacare.

Yay!!!

Federal workers can be axed.

Carter fired new hires and others.

Reagan fired the striking AC's.

Remember, public employees don’t pay taxes anyway. They are a net drain on GDP, they don’t ADD to it.

Repeat after me: public employees don’t pay taxes. It’s illusory.

Say this as many times as you need to until is sinks in. NO public employee pays ANYthing for taxes, retirement, unemployment insurance, medical benefits, ANY of it.

This is a fundament of economics as simple as “you get more of what you subsidize and less of what you tax.” and almost no one gets it and certainly no one is talking about it. Not out in the open. It’s contrary to how our consensus public education victimhood would have us think about wealth creation, redistribution, generational theft.

How can someone who is PAID by taxing the wage-earners, the ones who CREATE value in the economy, pay taxes? It may say they do on their pay stub, sure, and they are asked to “put in a little more” for benefits, but in reality, every time a public employee from President down to the least-paid garbage collector (cough-cough… don’t they make something like $200,000 a year in New York City?) gets a raise, it is paid for by someone who MAKES that money, someone who has been TAXED, that money taken from them. The money public employees are paid is redistributed from wage-earners, economic value-creators.

And no, I’m not saying teachers have no “value,” their labor when not promoting globalist lies like global warming is inestimable, but again, they are paid WITH tax money.

Think of it this way: a public employee saying they too pay taxes is like a man soaking in a bathtub scooping up and pouring out water with a cup saying “see, I’m filling the tub.”

America’s government was bankrupt 23 Trillion dollars ago, sold out to the highest bidder; how do you think Nancy Pelosi, Feinstein, Waters, Franks, and all those thousands of “representatives” got rich in public service?

Time someone - Trump - was the adult in the room and booted the non-essential employees out of the tub.

Think it over. Change the conversation. Pass it along. Open someone else’s eyes.

The discussion should be, are we truly getting value for our money spent and how do we take control of government “by, of and for the people” back from politicians corrupted by taxpayers dollars laundered through teachers/public employee unions, planned parenthood, Solyndra, GE, and all the rest?

While we’re at it, how do we delegitimize the naming of roads, public buildings, parks, stadiums after “public officials” who have made a lifetime’s wealth out of bilking the true wage-earners out of the fruits of their labor and, like Mooch hell Obeyme, Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton, Elizabeth Warren, done their level best to make them feel guilty for wanting to keep more of it while they live large at wage earners’ children’s children’s children’s expense.

Fire 10% of government “workers” every year. If others don’t pick up the slack...fire them.

Yes. Interrupting their main source of funding for political action against our nation is the right thing to do, and interrupting big government spending is necessary with debt collapse needing to be avoided or at least delayed.

Re: "Trump's Justice Department is taking the fight to a higher court."

LOL!

So, career federal lawyers, who work under a union contract, are DEFENDING Trump's anti-union Executive Orders?

They'll be in court for the next six years.

Then - "Never mind."

Looks like one of the first things that needs to be gotten rid of is the public sector unions. The taxpayers who pay them should have some say in this; not some union. Pres. Trump is on the right path. Another thing that is disgusting & should be cause for immediate dismissal is elected officials who betray their oath of office & don’t uphold the Constitution. If we wanted to live elsewhere with a different kind of legal system, we could move there. American was founded for Americans.

This fake story came from the same CNN correspondent, Kaitlan Collins, who was screaming senselessly at Trump after his Rose Garden appearance yesterday.

Four years out of college and she’s already two years in as WH correspondent? Shifting there after entertainment reporting experience at the Daily Caller—talk about going native in Washington!

In May, Trump issued executive orders making it easier to fire workers for poor performance or misconduct.

This is hilarious. Affirmative action, nepotism, favoritism etc. have insured that performance ratings often have damned little to do with actual performance. Federal managers are often incapable of thinking or writing in actual English. Won't be fixed as long as promotions are done from the inside or they eliminate the Fed bureaucracy entirely.
