[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are seeing how much the fed tic matters

15% can be eliminated and it would not skip a beat

No you’re not. Those people are all working, they just aren’t getting paid. The work is still there. And if they Fed jobs are eliminated, contractors will be be brought in to do the work for twice the price, and you’ll be paying for that instead.

+1. Also  to the person suggesting we cut 15% I would like you to know that total non defense discretionary spending is around 16% of the total federal budget. Are you suggesting we could cut all of that and no one would notice?  That 16% includes DHS, State, DOJ, CIA, all our scientific research agencies (2% of federal budget), all the regulatory agencies that keep your food, air, water, workplaces, transportation, consumer goods, drugs, bank accounts, 401ks safe. All these agencies represent just 1/6 of total federal expenditures. The taxpayer gets an enormous benefit from a relatively small portion of total federal expenditures [/quote]

Pfft. Nobody sees any of this stuff.
If some TSA person lets a disaster happen, the President can just declare martial law.  Pelosi, Mueller, and 2020 go away #win  :mrgreen: [/quote]
