Federal workers are seldom fired for poor performance — and it can take years for managers to make a successful case for dismissal for misconduct. About 0.5 percent of the civil service gets fired every year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics."
It looks like Trump is going to eliminate whole departments and change the dysfunctional federal government.
Excellent policy. Just excellent!
In other words, they will have to compete with the private sector.
They’re toast.
GET THE DAMN UNIONS OUT OF OUR GOVERNMENT ..!!!
AND OUR SCHOOLS.
With all due respect to Trump, his goal does not go far enough in my opinion.
More specifically, Trump needs to work with corrupt Congress to get rid of all federal jobs that Congress cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers.
In fact, once patriots work with Trump to put a stop to unconstitutional federal taxes, taxes that corrupt Congress cannot justify under its Section 8-limited powers, the states should be able to find a tsunami of new revenues to hire some of these former federal employees.
If patriots do not work with Trump to make Congress surrender state powers that the corrupt feds have stolen from the states back to the states, then consider the following.
It is only a matter of time before we have another lawless president like Obama that works in cahoots with corrupt Congress to use those stolen state power to oppress the states and the people.
The less tehy like it, the more Americans will like it.
If the people he hires just hold their departments accountable and force them to actually work ... plenty more bureaucrats will leave on their own.
I'd look for a huge influx into academia - lots of make-work jobs in THOSE bureaucracies. At least until the free government money runs out.
A month or so ago I read an article that claimed almost a third of them said were going to quit if Trump got elected — or were they just “joking” the same way all those celebrities were when they promised to leave the country?
It is way past time to eliminate the Civil Service. The Spoils System certainly wasn’t fair and discouraged good men from working for the government but hey, those good men don’t go build businesses any more, they go to work for the government. And a continuous employment builds fiefdoms and power bases to the point that the bureaucrats are really the most powerful persons in government. Better to have employees cycling in and out and power cells being broken up. Better to eliminate most government jobs than to neutralize productive people by hiring them to lifetime sinecures.
Man I hope this is true.
If it’s not directly in the Constitution, I’d like to see it eliminated. Failing that, I’d like to see a 3:1 ratio on hires - one new hire for every three who leave that department/agency.
This is music to my ears...love Trump!!!
