There will be a lot of former federal workers looking for jobs in the real world. They will not like the real world. And the real world will not like them.

Accountants and tax experts fired by the IRS are being snapped up by accounting firms. There is a huge shortage of accountants in the US right now.

Could this already be due to the exodus of illegals? Someone needs to fill the vacancies.
