The Energy Department said Tuesday it won't provide the names of staffers who worked on climate policy or other issues to President-elect Donald Trump's transition team, even as it pledges to cooperate with the incoming administration.

"DemocRat votes paid for by you and me "

Exactly.

They've used our tax money to infiltrate every department of the government and implement Marxism.

Lois Lerner used the full power of the Federal IRS to attack and harass conservatives.....she's still laughing at us as she languishes with her $102,600 ayear retirement benefit also paid for by you.

Every Department and Agency should be audits as the first order of business. That is called good business practice whether in government or main street..

If you don't audit, you're responsible for anything that comes out later. They need to come into each agency with a team like they would use if they were taking over a bank. Lock the doors, turn off the computers, dismiss the employees except the ones to be interviewed that day, and get to it.

I would consider Mr. Trump’s argument on the need for any ‘czars’ on its merits, should it arise. I have a feeling he will not be relying on ‘czars.’ Not his style. Maybe he’ll make Don Jr. a ‘czar.’ Maybe Ivanka. Czar Ivanka. Has a ring to it. Ivanka the Terrible!

"No cost impact to the government....other than wasting their time and making them to do unnecessary work."

Most of them are doing unnecessary work right now so there is no extra burden on the government anyway.

Each person who refuses to provide information to the transition team should be fired. No exceptions.

When Trump takes over he can have someone check with the IRS and say he wants a copy of all their payroll stubs. That’ll provides names, social security numbers, addresses, etc.

These people are really stupid. Have they not heard the news that a new administration takes over January 20th? That’s only 3,195,455 seconds from now. Time to start sending out resumes.

Fire every damned one of them. The employee does not tell the boss what the hell he can and cannot do. Fire them all. Do it now. Let them KNOW who is in charge. Otherwise, this is what he will have to deal with for four years. Remember, Reagan fired all the air traffic controllers when they pulled their crap.

With an audit of reimbursed expenses, wouldn’t they be able to obtain a list of who went to which conferences, etc.? Then again, perhaps they all have their own Fed Gov’t credit cards and could be traced through those records.

“Absolutely amazing.”

but EXTREMELY useful!

Eliminating 100,000 contract employees is WAY easier than firing 100,000 Fed employees.

Not to mention those few contractors that are replaced can be replaced with those aligned with Trump administration priorities.

Yes! One or the other.

Did you know that the upper East side of Manhattan used to be called GermanTown?

It still is by the older folk but just like Little Italy, not too many Germans anymore.

We Italians headed to staten island, brooklyn and NJ.

I guess you guys headed west? Would love to know where all those Germans relocated.

Week by week, you make their future miserable. By the end of the year...at least a quarter of the folks there have resumes out and seeking new employment. By the end of two years....roughly one-third of all employees have left for other jobs. No cost impact to the government....other than wasting their time and making them to do unnecessary work.

I like the way you think. Nibble them to death like a flock of ducks. (Ducks have flocks right? I know geese are gaggles, but can't recall if ducks have any weird quackery going on.

My father’s family headed to western Indiana in 1846.My father moved to Cleveland to work on the railroad.Then Mom and Dad bought this farm about 45 miles Southwest of Cleveland.Funny thing is the family moved from Germany because the men got tired of being impressed into the Prussian army.Got here and settled ust in time for the Civil War,and we’ve been in every war since then.
