Wnd.com ^ | 2/1/16 | Douglas Ernst

Donald Trump may be the only candidate in U.S. history who could shrink the size of the federal government simply by swearing in as commander in chief.

A poll of federal employees conducted by Government Business Council Jan. 20-26 found that a Trump victory may result in roughly 25 percent of the government's workforce quitting.

Of course, we knew then that none of them would quit (they're government workers. What else are they gonna do?)

And we also knew then that they would stay and act as internal saboteurs, which is exactly what we have seen.

For in a democrat administration, the bureaucrats dutifully grease the wheels, while in a Republican administration, they throw sand in the gears.

We’ll never know the difference if they quit. Needs to be more than 25 percent. Way more.

Twenty-five percent isn’t enough. Anyhow, these slackers should’ve been gone before 2/1/2017. Why Trump didn’t clean house is beyond me. He has complicated and compromised his presidency by being too trusting and nice.

Many Fed “workers” mainly sit on their ample a**es all day either figuring out how to further harass Citizens, playing games on the internet or watching porn. It is unfortunate that the 25% are liars. Why didn’t these bums quit? They are malignancies upon our society. Instead, they remain...sucking off the government teat, being seditionists and waiting for their retirement checks to start rolling in.

And the downside is?
Way more than 25% need to quit.

I’m not aware of a single person who has quit.

But the number of federal workers can certainly stand to be downsized. There is way too much redundancy in government.
