How much they can do is going to come down to a battle for public opinion so my feeling is that folks need to figure out how to hit back with messaging AND create widespread messaging that is damaging to Elon and Trump ie the contracts and personal wealth they are generating WHILE cutting popular programs like the ACA (super popular), cancer research (popular), Medicare (already not that popular) ETC.

+100

We paid $14 million for a new infographic. These people have no idea how the government works.

If you do the math taxpayers pay current teacher salary, pension teacher she took over for and pension retirement kindergarten teacher.

They are paying three salaries and three sets medical benefits but only one current teacher.

Crazy way to operate business paying former employees to do nothing

In private sector once you are done that’s that.

They should get rid of all pensions and medical in retirement all new govt employees.


Do you realize that you are talking about state and county pensions? Nothing you say has anything to do with the federal government. And btw, the majority of federal (and state) workers contribute to their retirement just like private sector.
I don't think PP understands what you mean by 'contribute'. It means a saving plan. That KG teacher put money in a savings plan that later pays her pension.

You have to explain stuff to stupid people in 8th grade language.

As long as it gets the job done, that’s fine with me. It’s supposed to be about efficiency and cost savings. Eliminate the positions as quickly as possible and save the taxpayers money. It doesn’t need to be fancy!


Make King Musk a trillionaire!! Woohoo!!

They are scraping a weird data set.

They have the "Federal Reserve System" slotted under the CFPB. The CFPB gets its funding FROM the FRS.

I question the validity of this whole website.

This is where you think waste is? OMG.


You’re the one complaining about the simple site. Do you want them to spend more money on it? They are focused on Draining the Swamp, not web design.


NP
I think you are misinformed about "the swamp" and who is in it. If you don't like the government spending, vote out the Congress! They are the the real swamp--the ones who control the purse. Most government workers are simply worker bees.

Agree. All it does is show that, even if you cut the entire workforce, you get to save 3% of the 6.75T in FY 2022 government spending. Woohoo

You make it sound like that retired kindergarten teacher didn't make contributions to her pension fund for thirty years.

And if you get rid of pensions you need to pay higher salaries. The pension is essentially delayed comp -- a way of getting skilled people in government for less money now, in exchange for a guarantee of more money later. Like an MLB contract. The pension also gets people to start cl around and keep all their training/knowledge in house, instead of taking it elsewhere. If you instead want to rent workers for a shorter period, you will have to pay them much more, especially to do jobs that are difficult and carry little status.

So it may not actually save you any money in the long run.

Fed pension is only 1% per year worked meaning the pension is only a fraction of the salary and it's adjusted below inflation every year. Next

The entire federal government counts towards your years in service, even if you switch from agency to agency.
