I honestly don't have any experience working with whatever it is you're talking about so IDK.
But, why do we need to build an unsustainable bubble around other people? I've had to fight my way through the private sector, and I don't begrudge government workers in the aggregate, but sometimes you lose your job and you find another one. Nobody is out there requiring private sector employers to retain employees solely because they're the little guy.
Did we always think the Endowment for Humanities would always keep people employed?
Moreover, many State governments are hiring right now, if it's the benefits/stability you're looking for. My State has new positions posted almost every week now.
People should not lose their jobs every 4 years because a new president moves in- think about it- it's a huge mechanism that needs attending to and empty seats do not keep the helm steady- most employees do 30 years- they know their way around where these new- "TOPS" have NO clue even what GS- or ERO or CBP I-148 means- is that what you really want ?
Most employees started as military and move around in the different agencies- because they do change-remove and compile agencies over time. Intel/ cyber security and anti-terrorism safeguards have become a huge factor- in almost every agency. Go ahead and deplete those who sit in those seats.
What I will agree with is they should hire in-house and do away with the very costly contractors-
So how many Federal workers will lose jobs because of this move?
Will they be transferred to other depts? Will Trump take credit for costing any of these employees their jobs?
Unlikely.
Despite all whining to the contrary, Trump's supporters will applaud more WalMart jobs - you know, the same sorts of jobs that they condemned Obama for "creating" - and will ignore the loss of good, well-paying jobs because revenge or something.
Remember all of the crying over higher energy bills?
They won't.
As Trump's oil, gas and coal buddies receive carte blanche to act like Enron in California, they'll just wave their hands and chant "but Carrier."
I am well and truly convinced that they want wholesale destruction and don't care who suffers for their selfishness.
Maybe the cuts will fund the new healthcare. I hear it might be a public option.
No one knows what it will be, but we know the Congress has already decided to spend an additional $9 trillion which we do not have. Unless they change it, it can only mean we are cutting in one place, and adding spending in other places and the net out come is an addition of $9 trillion in debt.

And do you own that magic future telling ball or do you rent?
Do you think we should wait and see what happens first? lol
Speaking of growing up.....if a household was in debt and the father claimed he couldn't cut Jimmy's dance lessons or Margret's swimming lessons because of a meltdown would you still feel he had a handle on it?
America is in debt. Shouldn't we get out of it? The meltdowns have to be ignored so we can get out of debt first, then we can think about the extra.

So if we cut funding to National Parks but everyone in America has actual healthcare is that a bad thing? What exactly do you think the priorities should be?
The fact is we can't have everything we want, cuts are going to happen.

Since you have trouble reading the comments, let me summarize what I have said here:
1. I like cuts
2. Congress will not go along with the proposals
3. Congress has already passed a spending measure to grow debt by $9 trillion
4. Justice department and State department are poor targets for cuts (low budget + crucial role)
5. It seems we will cut $1 on one place, and spend an extra $2 in another, which leaves us in the hole.

Let me guess, you live off of credit cards?
You guess poorly. I have been debt free for a long time.
Anything else I can help you with?
