[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also the USG can save a lot of money by lowering the pay for federal workers once they are allowed to relocate out of the expensive DC metro area.

Let them telework from wherever they want to live and the USG can also reduce their salaries to account for the lower cost of living.

It's a win-win.[/quote]

Or fire them and replace them with contractors who won’t have the same benefits. That way they can upscale or downscale the workforce as jobs become more and more automated.

Seems like a win win for the American taxpayer.[/quote]

They already did this.

The result was a ballooning in the day to day operation of the federal government because the actual work of the government was outsourced  to the big consulting firms and beltway bandits, rather than just paying salary and pension to federal workers. Many of those feds simply went from the government to become SME's at the consulting firms and 5x'd their salary and benefits and the taxpayers are covering those costs.

The federal wrokforce in DC is basically barebones because it is just people putting out RFPs for the contractors and subcontractors. Other than DOD, the largest employers are the various park rangers across the country and the postal service.[/quote]
