Impact on DC (federal) jobs if Trump wins

No impact. A Trump administration would accomplish exactly squat due to sheer incompetence.

You mean like the air traffic controllers Reagan sacked? Few government workers could get a job in the private sector let alone Canada which has tremendous economic problems.

Don't know which government workers you had in mind but most of the feds I know have multiple degrees and could do quite well getting hired just about anywhere. In your typical podunk town they would blow every other applicant out of the water.

If he tried just abolishing agencies outright- or for that matter even just cut them massively, the lawsuits against him would be swift, bloody and monumental, and quite likely those agencies would come back even stronger than they were before.

Aren't fed employees aiming at doing the minimum amount of work to not get fired? Sounds like a winning employee to me!

This question shows the real motivations of progressive liberals in DC and surrounds. This is very personal for them, so they are striking out like frightened children.

About 1-in-4 federal employees would consider leaving their jobs if Donald Trump is elected president, according the results of a recent survey conducted by the Government Business Council.

Overall, about 2-in-3, or 67 percent said they would not think about leaving the federal government if Trump becomes president, but 14 percent said they would and 11 percent said they would "maybe" leave. Just 8 percent said they did not know. The share of Democrats who said they would leave is higher, with 42 percent indicating that they would exit or could exit.

But this probably falls in the same category as those who say they will leave the country if Trump is elected president. When push comes to shove, they will stay ........... and so will these federal employees!

Trump will treat Fed employees the way he treats the "no show" workers baked into New York construction projects by unions. The no show workers are paid but obviously do not work. People in NY know how to get things done with the no shows. No different in how the Feds now operate.

The District of Columbia is a city and thus doesn't have an ass and can't be kicked. This is why education standards are imperative.

Wow. You must be very scary in person

"Podunk towns" do not exactly have jobs for people with multiple degrees. If 10 Feds descended on a town requiring one multiple degrees person for a job per year, how long would it take the Feds to be employed?

Not scary but still trying to compensate for lack of statehood.

Sure, wait till it is your whatever government check that stops coming.

Not the PP but your realize that all these bloated government jobs are barely needed. Waste of money. I want someone that is not politically correct to come in and clean up this country.

Anyone who believes Trump (or anyone else) is really going to eliminate agencies is a fool. The IRS, for example, employs 95,000 people across the country. The vast majority of government spending finds its way into the pockets of Americans either directly or indirectly and every dime the government spends has a constituency.

You give them too much credit. If they actually had the sense to not shut down or otherwise gut agencies then they should also have the sense to not be throwing it out there as a false campaign promise.
