[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The whole reason federal employees have job security is to withstand changes in political parties- keep the American citizens getting the services, protections etc owed to them in multiple ways etc. despite who is in the White House. Citizens vote for Congress who then allocates money to agencies. Feds are not elected by the public nor do they choose where to spend the money. Fed swear to uphold the constitution and serve the American people- it’s that simple and yet they are demonized, villainized and abused. [/quote]

So we should just keep putting more jobs on the federal credit card and worry about how we are going to pay for it later?

“More jobs”? Before the firings the past few weeks, the number of federal employees was the same as in 1970s when the U.S. population was a third smaller than it is now. Federal employee compensation costs the government less now than it did 15 years ago. Federal jobs are not what’s causing the deficit.

Meanwhile, Trump is proposing a tax cut that will add $5 trillion to the deficit *even with all the cuts he is proposing.* Would you like to know what federal employees cost the government each year? It’s six percent of what Trump wants to add to our debt. You could fire every single one, and it would not make a dent on the costs he is adding. This is not about saving money.[/quote]

You are missing the big picture. Govt workers are a drain on GDP/GNP. There buildings pay zero property taxes, they pay no income taxes at corporate level, pay no sales tax and workers on a net basis pay no income tax. I say net as if I pay you 200K from Govt and you pay me back 40K in taxes I am still out 160k

Take that building fill it full of tax paying workers, building pays real estate taxes, they pay sales tax, corporation pays income tax. wow Imagine how rich downtown DC would be.      [/quote]

Oh my god are you ignorant. Try having a country without government. See how that works for you. [/quote]m

Federal workers don’t do hardly anything that impact daily life the average person, At state level we have cops, fireman and teachers. [/quote]

This is why we are at this point—the absolute ignorance of the MAGA voter. Let her local fireman help out when her Social Security checks stop and her kid’s life-saving cancer clinical trials are defunded.[/quote]
