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

This is what I'm more worried about. And having a political crony supervise me who doesn't know what they are doing.

This is going to be beautiful.

If you aren’t a 14 year old troll, I feel so bad for you. Imagine being such a loser that the thought of someone’s misfortune makes you so giddy. And the impact it will have on everyone and I mean everyone’s life. But like a PP said-at least you would have owned the libs in the process. Every industry in this area relies on the fed govt. Including and especially tech.

People do not understand that this will affect them too. If you have no regulations you better have a perfect health because your medicine isn’t going to be safe. You better grow your own food, because food won’t be safe, etc.

Ultimately things will work out. Out bloated government needs a purge. Our society needs a wake up call that they are on their own.

They don't care. They'll only start to care when no one answers the calls, the social security and IRS refund checks don't get processed, the construction projects and other procurements for every agency get delayed. How long do you think it'll take the new feds to be hired as well as figure out how to do things?

My God how do you people function? It won't just "work out." Read a history book and see how things "worked out" before we had agencies regulating industries like food and medicine. Rotten meat, paint in your food, bugs, rats, etc. Companies pursue profits above all else. That's how capitalism works. Without guardrails, they will happily kill people for profit. That's how it will "work out."

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.

They already did this.

The result was a ballooning in the day to day operation of the federal government because the actual work of the government was outsourced to the big consulting firms and beltway bandits, rather than just paying salary and pension to federal workers. Many of those feds simply went from the government to become SME's at the consulting firms and 5x'd their salary and benefits and the taxpayers are covering those costs.

The federal wrokforce in DC is basically barebones because it is just people putting out RFPs for the contractors and subcontractors. Other than DOD, the largest employers are the various park rangers across the country and the postal service.

THIS! Do you know how much people at Deloitte etc make???

Hey, as long as it’s all about your family!

Yep. I know exactly how much. We could cut 40% of lazy useless feds and replace them with highly paid contractors and still save billions in benefits we pay useless parasite feds.

Fine. I have a PhD in STEM, I will go to private industry and make 4x more money.

I know it’s probably not a good thing for many people on DCUM but I think it’s a good idea to drain the swamp and spread the necessary federal support jobs around the country.

[Anonymous]

Oh fun, another thread full of hate towards federal employees by people who don’t know anything about the government.

Contractors cannot be used for the performance of inherently governmental functions - i.e. they cannot be the ones directing, leading - they always report to a government manager. They are given a task and they complete the task - that's it. There are limitations for a reason.

The FAR is going to perplex all those recent Hillsdale grads who have zero idea about the complexity of the procurement process, which is VERY important at any agency. I don’t expect Braden Van Dorken from Grand Rapids to understand what a DS-4208 is.

I hope this plan is also applied to the bloated defense contractor industry. I know a ton of people who do nothing at Boeing & Booze Allen.
