The GOP doesn't want this, so until something changes, the Federal Government will not be attracting the best and brightest who are committed to making our country better.

Some great talent can stay and hopefully ride it out; to rebuild at a later time. Thank G-d for them. But nobody worth their salt will ever go apply to work for the Feds. Even if you get a stable administration at a later time, America has proven we will just elect a psycho on a whim.

Exactly!


Well that’s it, I guess that I’m not voting for Biden.

Ok, can we move on to reality?

Smart people will go to where they can get experience. The government has always been such a place.

We just elected Trump, Biden, Trump which tells us quality of people in the Federal workforce means nothing to the American people. Sorry, Margaret, can't run from the truth.

Do you just sit around looking for threads to BoThSiDeS? And as it happens the first Trump term was nowhere near as terrible as the current one in terms of talent hitting the bricks.

They only want people who are willing to bend the knee. They don’t care if they are intelligent. Intelligence is probably a negative

Nothing. All the feds I know who weren’t DOGEd or RIFfed are leaving because either they are being asked to do unethical things or idiotic things like only using Fox News as a news source for international events.
