“””Contrary to what the article claims, government workers are not apolitical.””””
My wife works for the government. If they found out she was a Trump supporter they would throw her out the window.
Leftist, how many should be fired?
Leftists, is that your idea of huge?
i.e., "the swamp" that wants more & more government money for themselves. Money from taxpayers or money "creation", leveraged on the back of same.
NTEU should not exist.
The Privileged Class of Fedgov “workers” needs to be taken down a couple of pegs.
Fire most of them. Put the rest on Obamacare Bronze level, peg their salaries to median private sector salaries, transfer all their pensions into the Social Security Trust Fund and they can retire when they’re 68, not 50.
but serve from administration to administration regardless of which party controls the White House
So it doesn't make a difference who controls the WH. These unelected schmucks ARE the government. They control. They are unaccountable. They are dangerous, they are by and large bad people, in the job for power, control, and money.
Imagine every single agency undermined by political hacks.No need to imagine. That's what we have.
“the laws, the rules, the regulations, the scientific theories, all of the things that go into public policy. Somebody has to understand that.”
Shouldn’t the people expected to obey the laws and regulations be able to understand them too?
A mere theory is a weak basis for infringements on liberty.
“It could be an absolute fiasco,” says Simon. “Everyone’s seen what happens if this administration tries to politicize scientific work. We’ve seen it in CDC and we’ve seen it in the weather service. We’ve seen it in EPA, we’ve seen it all across the agencies. Imagine every single agency undermined by political hacks.”
Talk about a total lack of self awareness. They ARE the political hacks.
“Apolitical civil service” ? Hummmm let us think about that ....
Looks like Donald the great hit a nerve , on the target , once again !
I’ve been a lifelong computer software contractor. I absolutely love what I do for a living and I’m good at it. The only jobs I hated where those that had to do with a government agency. They were filled with the most conniving backstabbing evil sons of bitches I ever met. It was rare to find a nice person. But when you did they were afraid to speak and were usually those that kept quiet and set at their desk all day.
That is why I don’t want The government running anything, let alone everything.
The ability for federal civil servants to unionize is not due to a law passed through congress. It is due to an executive order written by JFK. Subsequently, virtually all of the problems within the various alphabet agencies are rooted in this executive order. Btw, being their ability to unionize was due to an executive order it appears to me that Trump can modify or even rescind JFKs EO as well.
And the second thing he should do is defund NPR.
Remember Lois Learner of the IRS?Don’t know if her position would have been covered here but I do know that she was PROTECTED from above and below!
It may be hard to believe but through the first century of this country, the majority of US Government employees were in the Post Office.
100% agree. I was on a two year contract implementing software for the govt. It was impossible just to get people to show up for training. It was unreal.The most incompetent people I ever met and they were rude.
These are the people who never have to worry about being laid off, love the lockdowns. I pray Trump blows it all up for them
Ooooh noooo! Now they will have to do their jobs or get fired.
Trumps attempt to overturn an Obama executive order on immigration with another executive order was rebuffed by the courts.
Line them all up and fire every 10th one.
Then tell them every week they don’t do what is ordered there will be a new line-up and 5th one will be fired.
You won’t need the second line-up.
