Possible for Trump to move federal agencies to "flyover country"?

A better question would be why the people in Michigan, etc. feel they are "entitled" to Federal jobs. The D.C. area has an educated workforce. Federal careers aren't a welfare program. Any attempt to redistribute our Fed agencies should be called out as a redistribution of wealth.

Exactly. The Federal government would have difficulty filling the rolls with educated, trained individuals who can do the jobs. And the senior officials and big donors will never agree to go to East Lansing or Waukegan.

You need only look at the State and Local government employees to see how true this is. Example:

The low-life white trash WV woman who called Michelle Obama an "ape in heels" in a public FB post. She is employed by a non-profit in Clay County which receives government funding. Her position requires a 4 year college degree and 10 years of experience. Taylor (the racist) has a HS degree and was previously a cosmetologist. LOL. And she was fired from a previous job for stealing fundraising money. And she makes 80k a year which is probably living like a king in WV! http://www.wvgazettemail.com/news/20161210/clay-nonprofit-official-who-posted-racist-comment-to-return-to-work

Those are the kind of high caliber people we'd have working for our country if we moved all the fed offices here and there, outside of D.C.

The federal "swamp" built this. This place was a dump 25 years ago. Now it's just vulgar compared to the rest of the country. 7 of the richest dozen counties! No wonder all the agencies are out of touch and useless.

If Michigan became part of Canada know one would care.

That sounds like widening the swamp.

And you wonder why HRC lost Michigan. All those dumb fuck UofM grads. And MSU may not be Ivy, but it graduates some smart people. Chicago and Northwestern are 150 miles away.

God you people are assholes. And oblivious to that fact.

And, it does happen that quite a few of those people who went to the almighty Ivy actually came from the middle.

So what if we're richer compared to the shitty rest of the country? My husband and I got our college degrees, he got an advanced degree, we moved here and made money OURSELVES. We didn't sit on our asses in Ohio and wait for someone to give us a job as a HANDOUT. It sounds like the "rest of the country" needs to get good educations and get with the program. Bootstraps and all that. Or else they can SUCK IT UP, BUTTERCUP.

I'm one of them. But it's still a really stupid idea to move the fed agencies out. Transactions costs on it are huge, you would lose your best employees because we are the ones who would have no trouble finding jobs that allow us to stay where our families are rooted and our spouses are employed. It's nothing but spiteful stupidity.

Agreed. The smartest and best would just find something else to do rather than live on fly over country (many of us fled to D.C. From those shitholes after college). There would not be enough educated or experienced people outside the area to effectively run the government.

Keep in mind. They almost bankrupted the auto industry and made it the rust belt because of their inability to adapt and change to the market needs. Sounds like another kind worse kind of swamp to me.

We are richer because here is the highest percentage of college educated people, especially ones with advanced degrees in the country. Not necessarily the government jobs, lots of industry. People flock here from all over America.

Even if they moved some federal offices to red states, they would move them to the cities there, and they all vote Democratic.
