How is a hiring freeze going to make America great again? Last I checked, this means alot of people will have a hard time getting jobs.

They do it better and much cheaper probably with 1/2 the workforce.
No they don't. The contractors I've seen have done poor quality work at a higher cost.

If you schedule a meeting during lunch time a catered lunch will be provided. If you travel on government business, you are provided meals. That is how.

It does NOT imply that the thing being referenced is literally your dream.


Try not to take things so personally.


Also, this move is so toothless that there is ZERO chance it will impact housing markets in the DC metro area. If it happens, let me know, I will be the absolute first to apologize and admit you were right.
it does imply that it's my dream, and my desire. it's neither

Many of these people could not survive in the private sector workforce.

You get Per diem or as you say whatever the darn hotel offers in via catering- $50 Danishes -- served with golden butter-- but not like all gov't employees attend these things- they need to clean up their own mess in DC- the country only sees their terrible abuse.

Hence all the Trump haters on this site. Layoffs come next.

So they should thin out as they venture out into the world and find out what it's really like out here. And they will become Republicans after their education.

I should of taken a picture of some of the free lunches I got on fire assignments last summer. I'm not sure if the bagged lunches or the MRE's were worse.

Interesting....

Shut down the TSA and transfer the responsibility to the airlines/airport to handle security. The money/people can be put on the border to process illegals being returning south.
