He also does not disclose his own benefits from his government position, such as his power to shut down agencies that were investigating his businesses. Who is really serving the people?

This is all public information it just isn't laid out easily for the public to analyze

Who knew that all Feds had Ivy League degrees!

You'd be surprised!! Certain agencies have a higher percentage than others (State Dept).

That’s a ton of money! Especially for people who mostly work from home. Eliminating tens of thousands of positions at $80K a pop is a huge savings. You Feds really are out of touch. That is a huge amount of money for the average American in flyover country. Just wow.

Feds don’t mostly work from home. Most work in the office. And how is it out of touch?

It’s out of touch to act like an $80K/year salary is nothing and shouldn’t be a target for government waste investigations. That was my point.

I didn't say it was nothing, I said it wasn't wasteful. Do you think $80k is an unreasonable salary for a 47 year old who is 2-3 decades into their career? What do you make?

Also most of my agency is in the field, can't WFH, and outside DC. But try again.

+1000.

The only people who think 80k is largess are complete hayseeds making 30k. Try living in the WMA and raising kids on that. Frankly, 80k is piss.

80k is well below the affordable housing assistance level for a family in most DC area counties.

My daughter who started kindergarten the nice teacher explained she actually went to kindergarten in same class room she teaches in. She said she keeps in touch the prior kindergarten teacher who recently retired and her own kindergarten teacher she keeps in touch with who had job before the prior kindergarten teacher.

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.

As if that's a bad thing. Do they not know how administrative agencies work? Namely, that Congress passes high level laws, and administrative agencies, with their specialized, technical expertise, implement? Do they really want Congress wading into all the nitty gritty details? I don't think so - and their business constituents I'm sure would prefer to deal with smart, informed regulators than with Congress folk, who even at their best and brightest, aren't in the weeds the way our public servants are.

But I forget, it's all the swamp. So whatever.
