Thats not 1.8% of the Federal work force. Its 1.8% of the entire D.C. area employment base. That would be a huge number.
1.8%
Pffft...Will anybody even notice?
“I think many of the people who live in Northern Virginia moved there to get the hell out of DC.”
That trend was going on in the 1960’s, and it increased rapidly after the race riots after MLK was killed.
We moved ito a nice new condo division in western Fairfax, County on 1996 thanks to the GI bill for Viet Nam era vets.
5 years later, we sold it and made enough profit to enable us to buy good homes for even more appreciation, even in California.
Imagine if Obama could have created that kind of job growth or GDP per quarter or year???
Thanks for some real math instead of vague %’s.
“There are over 3 million people employed in the DC metro area and about 10% are federal government employees. If my math is correct that 1.8% impact in the region means the President is talking about RIF for 20% of the federal government workers in the DC region and that’s a good start!”
Good job:
lead to layoffs among federal workers, changes that would be felt sharply in the Washington area...
No one has a right to be as happy as I have been the past 7 weeks.
GO TRUMP GO!

President Trump will issue a new memorandum on Monday that requires every executive agency to conduct an internal review of how their funding is being abused and what changes they can pursue to operate more efficiently.

Some federal officials have said they fear the president’s budget will lead to massive layoffs at the State Department and Environmental Protection Agency, among other departments.

Here is the current structure under ObamaCARE
Here is the new defined structure under RinoCARE
It's no different than CA. Most young people who were born in CA will never own their own homes there. And if they do, most will be in choking debt for the rest of their lives, just paying these bloated mortgages. Some of the lucky ones who borrowed their lives away, are paying thousands in property taxes every month....lol
That's why in CA, so many foreigners with big $$ have been buying most of the homes, while those born and raised there, are forced to leave the state or head to the deserts, if they ever plan to own a home of their own.
” Let the Fed workers experience what the rest of us did. “
Agree.
Millions of them need to be fired and forbidden from ever holding any gov job ever again.
“The FEDERAL EMPLOEES that lose their positions will have absolutely zero problems quickly obtaining high paying jobs in the private sector. After all, THEIR OWN STUDIES say they are paid 34% lower than their private sector counterparts doing the same work.”
Right! And it’s a good thing we’re at “full employment” (4.7%) they all should have no problem whatsoever as private sector employees all fight for them...
“Thats not 1.8% of the Federal work force. Its 1.8% of the entire D.C. area employment base. That would be a huge number.”
Thanks, I was beginning to wonder if anyone read it correctly! It is amazing to follow some of these threads and see how many totally misconstrue what is being said. I thought we were supposed to understand things and it was only the liberals who always got it wrong.
“Simply put, government would be smaller and less involved in regulating life in America, with private companies and states playing a much bigger role.”
OH how I DO LOVE the sound of THAT!
AT LONG LAST!
Now, to get some misbegotten RINOS outta the way...
Hello, mid-term elections!
LOL < Why these numbers are staggering! Just STAGGERING, I tell ya...
