My first thought: ... And that’s suppose to be bad news. ????? Let them resign and don’t replace them! Their bosses will all be fired!

Certainly an encouraging development.

Trump should put that in a campaign ad. It would get him tons of votes.

This fact alone should cause the public to vote for Trump. The government GS13 levels are bloated Democrat entitled people on average that have little to no knowledge of what it takes to balance a budget or make it in a capitalistic environment. Most wouldn’t know a 40 hour work week if it bit them on the butt.

Yes indeed.

It’s long been said that 50% of the federal workforce could go missing and no one would notice.

Perhaps suburban areas in MD and VA would notice but those areas could be razed and restored to farms and ranches to bring back the beauty that once was.

There are, incidentally, some 2.79 million federal employees. That's 700,000 workers hitting the streets at once. Could the economy possibly do without their production?

Oh, wait. No production. Never mind.

These are people who are for the most part unemployable in the private sector. They are used to being coddled, overpaid, and underworked.

They aren’t going anywhere voluntarily, unfortunately.

Bullcrap. Nearly none of these employees could find similar low-intensity job requirements at such inflated salaries. But the jobs do still need to evaporate.

God Bless America. Wish it was 50%.

This would be a feature of a Trump presidency, not a bug!

But, only a fair start, really. We need to reduce the number of federal employees to about 25% of the total now, including defense.

Being in government, the problem is how to keep the good ones, and kick out the bad ones.

Answer1: Put the teeth back into the Inspector Generals, and broaden their role.

Answer2: Expand whistle blower protections, and investigate mercilessly.
