[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Feds need to think about finding other jobs.  'Spouse's agency will be moved to Denver...but we aren't going.  That's how they are reducing gov...they know only 30% or less will move.  And they use their plans as a way to win votes in Nov.

What's worse is that they've done the cost analysis and it doesn't save $$ for the gov to move from DC, but they will do it anyway and lose the expertise and the convenience of working with other agencies all to buy votes.

If Trump wins, it affects my household very personally.[/quote]

Oh, boo hoo.  I happen to be a fed and married to one as well.  It’s long since past time for some government agencies to move into the country’s interior.  There’s an entire country out there - much more than just the coasts.  Moving some agencies will bring welcome jobs to new areas.  I’m all for it.[/quote]

Approximately 80% of Federal jobs are not in the DC area.

“Moving agencies” is the dumbest idea I’ve heard in a long time.[/quote]

It is if you subscribe to the idea that the layers and layers of agencies make sense in the first place.  There is no need to have legions of GS-13-15s paid what they are paid in this area.  That makes no sense.  And, why on earth would anybody thing any "cost analysis" done by another government agency is even reliable?   [/quote]

Which government data do you believe?  Jobs data?  Economic reports?  Weather reports?

Or do you just disbelieve what you feel hostile about?[/quote]

Honestly, none of it.  [b]Most suspect[/b] would be a government agency projecting costs of another government agency.  You can get jobs data from other indicators, just as you can get economic numbers.  As for weather, nobody relies on the government directly for that anymore, except for maybe hurricanes, and even that is predicted more accurately anyhow.  The government generally sucks at most of what it does, so it is best to avoid the government being involved in anything.[/quote]

I’m not surprised.  Even when Trump is gone, people with ignorant and unfounded views like the above will continue to operate on the assumption that the government does not function and that is ok and that they can vote for someone who is essentially operating a reality show in the White House.

I work with government economists and for my money they are less afraid of the actual truth than corporate media, politicians, and the sniveling, desperate proletariat working in the private sector.  I’m not sure why you would trust those with a profit motive more than the government.

And that’s why YOU are the problem, dear pp.  Not Trump, not Republicans.

YOU.[/quote]
