Move the capitol. That will eliminate a lot of positions.
What needs to be done is after eliminating 500,000 bureaucrats, move half of whats left of those bureaucrats out of their uppity D.C. offices and move them into trailer offices on the Kansas plains. Put them just outside of hogjaw Kansas. It’ll be good for their economy!
Setup 300 trailer offices and pay them minimum wage for the honor to serve the people.
Whoever is left in D.C., remove all the office doors and monitor and record everything they do. No more closed door meetings for anyone outside of national security. Have their calls monitored and recorded so we can see what the hell these people are doing all day. No more government cars or freebies and axe their benefits 75%. Randomly drug test Congress and the Senate and cut all their income and benefits 50%. And closely investigate/examine all their financial activity every 6 months.
And government contracts will need an entire team to investigate.
