IF Trump lays off 20%===200,000 ‘workers’ who each make $average of 80,000 plus benefits, that equals $16 BILLION in one year.

That is the WALL money-—clean & fast.

Such a drop in ‘workers’ will help DC traffic, and other costs such as space, heat, desks, computers, power,,,,,etc.

According to Pareto Distribution (my post #37), it would be technically possible to cut 80%. Although 60% would probably be ideal since 25% of the 80% could probably be retrained for useful assistant work (making copies, filing, etc.) to improve the efficiency of the 20% who do most of the actual work.

In the private sector, as you probably know, shared assistants are popular. The one I use also works with three other supervisor level people. Also, in the private sector, most supervisor level people are also expected to do actual work. In my case, about 3-4 times as much actual work as supervisory duties.
