100,000 federal jobs shipped out of DC and reclassify 50,000 civil servants.

For people who claim Feds don’t work they clearly have very little going on themselves…

They don’t even know what the government does. It is sad that conservatives have maligned the government and its workers for so long that a large number of Americans have no idea what the government does. I am just very tired of uneducated/stupid MAGA. They aren’t going to wake up until it’s too late, especially MAGA in the Midwest or more rural America. The quality of life for rural and midwestern Americans is exponentially better because of government. They wouldn’t even have electricity had it not been for government intervention! But yea, drown it a bathtub. 🙄

Let them telework from wherever they want to live and the USG can also reduce their salaries to account for the lower cost of living.

It's a win-win.

Or fire them and replace them with contractors who won’t have the same benefits. That way they can upscale or downscale the workforce as jobs become more and more automated.

Seems like a win win for the American taxpayer.

Any contractor worth paying is MORE expensive than a gov’t worker w/benegits.

Every agency has its own dead-weight, and you could get to 100,000 just getting rid of them. The problem being is that the entire federal system is about keeping those people in their jobs.

If Trump can cut that Gordian knot, then you'd have a cheaper and better federal bureaucracy.

My agency is sorely under staffed and many of us are doing 2 people’s jobs. I work extra unpaid hours every week just to get the work done because I had to absorb the duties of someone who left. You sound hateful and ignorant.

Anything back office should be sent out of DC: 99% of IRS, HHS, VA, DoD - A lot of that stuff can be done (and is) in the suburbs of Des Moines, KC, Omaha, Syracuse, Columbus, etc.

At the very least this. Not many people relocate for backend jobs, and the local talent pool is stretched thin as it is.

How much is that going to cost us taxpayers to move those jobs?

This! There might have been dead weight decades ago but the agencies I’ve worked at are very lean. Now with boomers retiring, it’s pretty painful.

What is your source for your first paragraph? Or are you demonstrating the kind of work output you deliver at your job - sloppy, unchecked, and unreliable?

Yes. U have been performing my job responsibilities and a former colleague’s duties for six months when she left. Management has failed to backfill her position. Wish me luck DCUM, I have an interview next week as I tiptoe back into private industry. I believe government is dysfunctional not because of deadweight, but because of employee burnout.

Boomers retiring and Millennials having better options. They don’t need the health insurance because most companies provide that benefit and those that do not have access to the ACA.

Trump was targeted by an Iranian plot to assassinate him (separate from the domestic shooter this past weekend at his rally!) and he/R’s in general still want to gut the federal government? Including FBI, CIA, NSA? And stop sharing intelligence info with our allies? It doesn’t make sense. The US and our allies are under constant threat of terrorist attacks. We already know Iran has infiltrated or even outright lead some of the Palestinian protests. The US would be a lot less safe if their plan went through.
