According to Pelosi, the passage of Obamacare eliminates ‘job lock’ and gives them freedom to become photographers, artists and filmmakers.

Why are they moaning?

ITEM---For starters, Trump gets rid of the 5 million useless Obama hires.

ITEM---Trump should checkout the no-show cronies relatives and family Hillary put on the State Dept payroll....and waterboard Cheryl Mills to find out what happened to the missing 6 billion Hillary "misplaced."

ITEM---House Republicans revive obscure rule that allows them to slash the pay of [federal workers to $1]
WaPo ^ | Jenna Portnoy and Lisa Rein / FR Posted by RoosterRedux

House Republicans this week reinstated an arcane procedural rule that enables lawmakers to reach deep into the budget and slash the pay of an individual federal worker — down to $1 — a move that threatens to upend the 130-year-old civil service.

The Holman Rule, named after an Indiana congressman who devised it in 1876, empowers any member of Congress to propose amending an appropriations bill to single out a government employee or cut a specific program.

The use of the rule would not be simple; a majority of the House and the Senate would still have to approve any such amendment. At the same time, opponents and supporters agree that the work of 2.1 million civil servants, designed to be insulated from politics, is now vulnerable to the whims of elected officials.

The revival of the Holman Rule was the brainchild of Rep. H. Morgan Griffith (R-Va.), who is intent on increasing the powers of individual members of Congress to reassign workers as policy demands.

He favors a strategic application, likening it to a bullet from a sniper rifle rather than a shotgun. It’s unlikely — but not impossible — that members will “go crazy” and cut huge swaths of the workforce, he said. (Excerpt) Read more at washingtonpost.com ...
