The Donald is playing Chimp and Nasty just as masterfully as Itzhak Perlman plays his Stradivarius ...
Heh.
Extrapolative drivel
To suggest an 800,000 person RIF is stupid, just stupid.
More selective RIF is however worth consideration.
For starters, justifiable starters, all those collecting unemployment can be justifiably RIFed as self designated unemployed.
Removing SES is one thing. Trying to remove 800K competitive service employees is another.
The people sitting home right now arent at home because theyre nonessential; they are home because their functions are nonexempt (meaning they are not directly involved in public safety.)
My favorite example is payroll. That is an essential function in any organization, but those people are furloughed. Is it rational to RIF the entire HR support structure for the frontline employees?
If there is a RIF, it will be time consuming and complicated, and wont give you the result your looking for.
Immigrants, when they gain the right to vote for the first time, almost always vote for Democrats. A recent Yale-MIT study reveals that the actual number of illegal aliens in the U.S. is 22 million (the are INCORRECT - the number is closer to 30 million - and, I will some day be vindicated), which is roughly the populations of Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Finland combined. The largest landslide in U.S. presidential history (Reagan vs. Dukakis, 1984) was 17 million. And the Democrats want all 22 million to have amnesty, citizenship, and voting rights as quickly as possible.
Correct on Democrat voting figure...it is about 98%. Incorrect on number living here, it is about 30 million, far more than what anyone ever says except those of us who are married to the culture.
Trump will do no such thing. He has shown no inclination to go against popular sentiment. When given a chance to put coffin nails in Ocare, he declared that preexisitng conditions should be covered and that care should be affordable (He was cheered for that on this forums) and thereby ceeding the argument to the Dems.
He has made sure he is stronger on SS than the Dems (smart tactics). He doesnt fight the big liberal budget.
He will not fire 800,000 people. Your delusional if you think that will happen. The Dems dont mind if their people suffer. This shutdown game will go to the Dems.
Make it happen, Mr. President.
MAGA!
As my brother said, “If they’re non-essential employees, what are they doing on the payroll to begin with?”
