[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Republicans are pandering to their populist base and have no understanding of what feds do. They’ll get what’s coming for them when they replace fed’s with Trump’s buddies. Like the spoils system? Hope so.[/quote]

I mean the Republicans started with replacing feds with cheaper contractors. Now they get leaks. They know what they're doing [/quote]

Contractors were supposed to be cheaper but they end up costing the government a crapload of money.  And it's scary that we have a whole lot of major national programs that are now only one or two feds deep, the rest is all contractor staff who may or may not get rebadged every time that contract expires.  Government is losing all of the institutional and technical and other knowledge that it needs to have in-house.[/quote]

Yes, it is a deep problem. [/quote]

Need to backfill lost federal positions.  It's bizarre that Republicans think government needs to be cut, cut, cut when our population, or economy, the complexity of modern society and technology, and number of issues needing governance have grown, grown, grown.  Republicans are so full of backward notions that defy logic and reality.  In many departments feds are already laid so bare that they wouldn't even have enough capabilities to automate or help augment themselves by standing up customer service chatbots.[/quote]
