[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]... [b]I would relocate most government agencies to the middle of the country to establish jobs with current federal workers willing to move and train locals for government jobs and the associated jobs that come with large employment centers.[/b]

Novel idea. There's no way the Founding Fathers ever wanted DC to become such a vulgar concentration of wealth. 7 of the top 10 richest counties![/quote]

It is truly disguising to see the wealth accumulation that is a direct result of the Federal Government's concentration in DC.   Many agencies could be moved to areas that require revitalization.   Wages for many lower level government jobs would undoubtedly drop.   Would be a great PR move for Trump to break up the swamp and "create" new jobs in the Rust Belt.  Downsizing could be accomplished at the same time.[/quote]

Good idea, but then all of the poor little rich DC elites would have to sell their shitshacks for less than 1.3 million because the bubble would finally burst.  Aww!   [/quote]
