The new Leader of Argentina won an election promising to abolish all the BS agencies.

I hope President Trump will do the same...saving billions of dollars and saving America from Communism.

At Fort Greely in Alaska they get paid $40.00 per hour to push a brooom around.

“So long as I can remember, every Republican president has promised to get rid of the Department of Education. Great. But why does it never happen? I would like to know the answer.”

Maybe because we elect PRESIDENTS, not dictators.

Basically we need to pull up about 2/3 of the federal government, root and branch, and then reeducate the remaining 1/3 on civics, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

Only after passing a series of tests will they then qualify for federal employment.

Maddening was a trip I took in 2008. Traveled by through the DC area to attend a funeral. Once I got within the “beltway” I thought I had gone into the twilight zone. Outside the zone, times tough. Inside Beltway thought I had gone to Eden. No housing crisis, everyone zooming about in almost new cars, seemingly completely different than the rest of the country. Then it dawned on me, the three counties around DC, the District Cesspool, are the three highest per capita income counties in the US. Interestingly, they vote almost 90 % rat. Find a telephone listing, if you can, of any agency and note this: Agency head, deputy head, assistant heads, associate heads, each with executive assistants, on and on down the executive pay structures. The cadre below them begins at the GS 13 level. More maddening, most “work” from home now. All big dollars, all useless. Changing it, impossible. Eviscerate it only way out.

They make more then $100,000 and do not have to do a good job.
I would like to see a Elon Musk type fire 80% of the people like he did at Twitter.
There was no loss of service at Twitter when he did so.

I was a term worker for the FDIC from 2009-2014. My contract was for two years, plus an agency option for two additional years. The clock was reset with every promotion: due to circumstances, I was promoted from GS7 to GS13 in ten months.

I suggest that every person be replaced by a term employee when the perm employee retires, or leaves their agency.

I have friends who live in DC, and if you have just a few contacts, you can basically bounce from one six-figure job to the next until you’ve made a career of it. Government, museums, parks, theaters, the possibilities are endless!

It’s been 10 years since I left the FDIC. Yesterday I was contacted by a former team member, asking about my availability for contract work for a project he’s working on. What you described is nationwide.

I confidently predict that the down payments paid on behalf of illegals will result in foreclosures within a year. My prediction is based on my experience with the FDIC, where I was a member of a team that oversaw mortgage loans serviced by contractors.

We did our jobs well: two contractors voluntarily withdrew from their contracts due to our oversight. LOL, one of my after action reports generated an Agency wide email from a Director. The title was “Houston, we have a problem.” No one ever questioned the quality of our work.
