[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Voters voted for Trump. Many of them want this. They are not the same as simply turning away.

As bad as this is for feds, 2009 was worse for the private sector especially in certain industries.  And then with covid, many other industries especially service ones either had to close or had to operate with a lot of exposure to covid. [/quote]

I feel bad for federal employees, I really do, but this is what the private sector has dealt with since forever. Recently during the recession and during Covid, there were so many layoffs and firings. Businesses went under, and these people had to find work. They went without work for months no insurance no backpay.

As for the voters, this is exactly what they voted for. Certainly not in the DC area, but the rest of the country did AND many Democrats have also said they wanted to do throughout the years. Obviously not this way, but it’s something that has been floating around for a while.

Lastly, the step parent analogy is gross. It’s an awful, dated and cartoonish stereotype. [/quote]

It is true there have been similar things in the private sector. However, with respect, in those instances the country did not cheer those on or vote for that to happen to people (by the very people being served), nor did it come from a place of just intentionally wanting to make workers suffer and break our government. The people will pay more or less the same in taxes for a small, broken government. It is worth not overlooking those differences.

Fully agree on the final point. [/quote]

Fed workers pay ZERO Fed taxes on a macro basis on their pay checks The are just paying ther Fed back with their own money. For instance I did work for the Fed briefly, Actually well paid. 240K income. Of that 240K income I paid Fed taxes But it was really just the Feds money I was giving back. My next job was a German Company, same pay. I paid Fed taxes but the money came from Germany. All profit for Fed.  [/quote]

Are you high?[/quote]
