[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope everyone in the DMV realizes that these government layoffs are going to cause people in the private sector and small businesses to lose jobs too. If you have ever lived in a factory town when the factory closes, all businesses go down too.

Good luck with your property values.[/quote]

There will be pain but we will sacrifice for the greater good. [/quote]

You won't survive this sacrifice, you are not special.   Something has to change to what's going on, and at some point even the biggest fans of DOGE will start questioning when new jobs will be created and all the prosperity they are promised will start trickling down to them.  So far proposed budget is going to add to national debt too.. let's find out where they are planning to spend and how this will benefit you.  [/quote]

I’ll be fine. Not at all worried. My kids and their kids will be fine. [b]Already taken care of from real work.[/b]

As for the other aspects you mentioned, I wish you all had thought of that before you spent decades looting the treasury. [/quote]

Who looted the Treasury. Seriously, what ARE you talking an out? All these Trumpers thinking their work in the private sector somehow is legitimate over government workers is laughable. Unless you are a doctor, you and your work really aren’t that special.

Government workers help you get a passport, process social security payments or make sure Exxon is punished for spilling oil all over Alaska. While you do what exactly? Are there unnecessary programs, sure? But the vast majority are good and government workers work hard. Your inability to understand this shows a lack of critical thinking. My husband and I have never worked for the government but appreciate their work. My husband works in banking and while he isn’t in favor of some of the regulations there, he recognizes the importance of the CPFB. He has had a front row seat to the predatory lending and its impact on the lower socioeconomic class. The class that Trumpers pretend to champion. But in reality don’t give an F about. [/quote]

I see I'm dealing with the kind of low information voter who has not been falling the news and seen the extraordinary waste being exposed. [/quote]

Any waste comes from policy decisions. Not what generic government workers are doing.

Vilifying all Feds is just as bad as vilifying all cops. Same hysterical, mindless mob behavior based on feelings. Just occurring on the opposite of the political spectrum.

Come up with an informed way to cut waste. You'd have yourself a bipartisan issue.

No one is vilifying all Feds. It's mostly waste to the NGOs and non-profit orgs with bloated executive salaries who think everyone should subsidize their lives that drives people who work for a living to be so upset.[/quote]
