I was going to ask the same question, but you worded it better!
If it’s about money, I think I’ve raised an obvious question. What does a GS-16 running a program that does more harm than good make per year? If he retires with 25 years in, what’s his health and pension cost for the rest of his life?
And how many of “him” are in *all* *those* *departments*? (Plus state, county, and city!)
