Trump is meeting with Michelle Rhee today. She cut the dead wood in DCPS. Maybe he will make her the hatcheteer for the Feds

There's accountability in the private sector if things are being managed properly. If not, competitors in their sector put them out of bidness (unless the government has created a market of monopolies/oligopolies where the companies can collude and run roughshod over the customer).

You know this. Stop telling us otherwise.

Not urban legends. I'm always running into government workers at the grocery store at 10 a.m., the pool at noon, and the movies at 2 p.m. When I've asked if it's a government holiday, they laugh.


It's funny to me, as a former Fed. The only jobs where I've been able to do stuff like this have been private sector jobs. Now talk about workplaces with no accountability. I've worked for 2 private sector employers (very large and medium sized) where I've had to beg for work and still never had much to do. They paid 2x and then 3x my Fed salary.

Yup. And increased spending.



Oh, we're back to calling it spending now. It was called "investments" when Obama did it.

That's not Trump's plan. No one really knows what the plan is.

But I know what the plan is here.... talk about race, protesting, dressing Melania and other inane shit.

And then when the country can't pay, Trump's plan is to default on the loans (like he's done with his businesses), and restructure the loans, thereby, lowering this country's credit rating.

Brilliant plan.

You could levy a 100% tax on all millionaires and only fund the government for 4 months. Then what?

We've clearly over promised. We won't deliver. We will collapse. There's no way around that math.

You think it's a nightmare if we cut back 5% or 10% program now? Wait until the programs just go away because there's no money to support them. That's the laws of economics kicking in, and those laws have NO compassion.

I suggest some bleeding hearts around here get real, because it's about to get real.



there will not be a single answer, but immediate freezie hiring for all federal agencies, and cutting every agency by 10% over next 2 years is a start and doable. The federal gov shutdown had no impact to most people.

solve the H1B fraud by instituting a tax. Since Silicon Valley says it needs the best and brightest, they should be willing to pay a tax to get them. Eliminate Limits and tax companies $30,000 per H1B per year is a good start, for the 600,000 H1Bs in country in any year, would get us 18B a year. This way if companies need the best and brightest they can get as many as they need. And the INdian bodyshops will be able to provide as many as they can get.

Eliminate the DEA and save 3B a year.

There are many many ways to start reducing the debt without impacting the working class.



You aren't even making a dent!

US Budget in 1 Day: $10,460,188,800. (2011 numbers - it's worse today)

Of the total money shown above, the US Government borrows $4,506,849,315 (4 billion, 506 million) each day.Jan 26, 2012


$10,460,188,800 a day divided by 320,000,000 people is $32 a day per person.
Everyday! Seven days a week and we borrow or print $14 a day per person. Do you see the problem we're in, because we already have $61,000 per person to make up in today's dollars.

I can see you operate in Alternate Reality.


Private Industry where you have to work and add value to get a job.

When I worked with GSA it was filled with people just existing. 25% could have been cut and have NO IMPACT on what the agency did. But if you asked those people how it is going, they are so busy, so busy.
