[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who just trained new people, it'd just be a massive, stupid waste.  We hired people because we needed rhem, we just spent a whole lot of money training them and to fire them now would mean we aren't going to get the investment back.  Might as well just set money on fire.[/quote]

How things are done currently is also a massive, stupid waste.

If they streamline many procedures and eliminate some unneeded programs, they can reduce the number of things the agency is tasked with and how many people required to do it.  The posts here assume that you will all be doing the same amount of "stuff" long-term and that's short-sighted.  Private companies eliminate or automate a lot of things the government still does with manpower.  Inefficient.[/quote]

Once again, let's talk about how governments are not private companies. The budget is drafted by the White House and given to the House. Congress passes all the appropriation laws for all the programs that Federal employees work on. We did not come to work and make up a bunch of programs to administer. We have no power to "eliminate some unneeded programs", which is in the eye of the beholder anyway. Lots of stuff gets automated, PP, but lots of programs get added and we can't just whip up programming immediately. That costs money. I realize some of you out here are young and semi-trolling, but Jesus.[/quote]
