The private sector doesn't pay enough for those highly paid Federal employees. Don't forget many veterans are employed by the Federal Government.

I don't know where this highly paid stuff comes from, but the most Jim ever made was 62ish and that was at 33 years and working 6 days every other week.


Decent pay for a decent life---- but highly paid is a bit of a stretch.

So Trump ran on the platform of Jobs, jobs, jobs. This is his way of fulfilling that promise. Cutting 550,000 jobs right out of the gate?
And you bohunks are rooting for that?
It's called DRAINING THE SWAMP... even us "bohunks" can see that, genius.

Then you are highly uneducated about the federal workforce and maybe should not be starting a thread about something you know nothing about.

Transfer these 'public servants' out of Washington and see how many decide to stay in 'public service'. I bet these goals for a reduction in federal employees and reduction in costs would be met within a year.

I like that out of the box thinking. May save 10% budget in COLA alone. Maybe move the agencies to the border

I agree. I am also a government employee (city not federal though). 10% cut across the board can be easily achievable, without having any impact on services.
