Unemployment about to go up to 20%.....You think your pay isn't going to go down? PFT!

GOP revives rule allowing $1 salaries for government employees

3/4 of them shouldn't have a job any way.
The private sector was never supposed to be this big. Period.
How many unconstitutional agencies do we have?

i disagree. the better we understand our environment, the better off we are.

we don't need wars on crime, drugs, poverty, and terror.

Who is "we"?...You libs and your cavalier use of the terms "we" and "they"....

 

[thereisnospoon]

Unemployment is already currently 15-20%. Anyone who's buying their current 5% number, must also believe in the Easter Bunny and Santa Clause.

it is why we need unemployment compensation, simply for being unemployed in our at-will employment States.

it already exists. For 12 to 24 weeks. Then you get your ass back to work.
Again you refer to "we"...

Trump asked for lists of the NAMES of employees...

WTF

so is he going to run background checks on career employees and if they are registered Democratic or Green Party, he's going to reduce their job position down to a $1 position?

NAMES for GOODNESS SAKE

This is not asking for the different Job positions within the energy department to see which ones you can cull to cut expenses,

this is asking for the names of the people, so they can use their government power to rid them of their jobs on their political affiliation alone, or their position on climate change alone and not the work they accomplished in a position...

THIS IS RUSSIA/PUTIN

it is what is done in a country like Russia or China or North Korea....

what the HECK is going on here?

“This is a big rule change inside there that allows people to get at places they hadn’t before,” he told reporters.

The new rule follows requests by the Trump transition team for lists of the names of employees involved in specific programs, such as Energy Department scientists who have worked on climate change.

The cons are turning back the clock with the $1 salary rule from 1876. They really hate evolution and progress.

I dont call giving out more free stuff progress.
progress would be less people collecting the free stuff and providing for themselves. Yet when ever the Americans try to create an atmosphere that will allow for this, its fought by the left.
Why is that? why is it that the left does not want the poor to be able to actually care for themselves.

You know perfectly well that Social Security and Medicare are not free. You also know that people on welfare must work. You also know that health insurance is not free. Your shit don't flush.

GOP revives rule allowing $1 salaries for government employees

The Holman Rule, named after an Indiana congressman who devised it in 1876, empowers any member of Congress to propose amending an appropriations bill to single out a government employee or cut a specific program.
Excellent news. NO ONE should ever be granted unfettered absolute job security.
As far as unemployment is concerned. Stop wringing your hands. Government employment was never supposed to be that important.
After all, government employees are supposed to be the best and brightest. Therefore would have NO problem gaining employment in the private sector.
See how this works? Can't have it both ways.

Cons can't even supply jobs for those that need them, let alone 20 million more former government workers. You're about to cause another great depression. You are so selfish.

Are that many around you not working? Where do you live?

Their 5% number is ludicrous. It's much much higher.

U6 Unemployment Rate | Portal Seven
The current U-6 rate is 9.2%....That is the TRUE rate of unemployment.
I am curious how it is this thread was able to transition from new/old regulations per federal workers to "oh my GOD, the unemployment rate will skyrocket!!!!"

People in welfare must work?.....Now there is some good comedy..
Hey genius. If you are wallowing in concern about federal workers, write a check.
It is not the job of the US Taxpayer to employ people for no other reason than to employ them.
There must be a purpose and a function to said work. In the absence of this support, the workers are no longer required. And as such, they are dismissed with the thanks of the people and of course free to pursue other more lucrative endeavors.

doesn't matter. it is every adult market participant's job, to circulate capital in our first world economy.

Huh? Has nothing to do with with my question. If he lives in Florida with all the seniors maybe there the jobless are 20% of the population

it has every Thing to do with your question. We should be eliminating capitalism's natural rate of unemployment, by using socialism to bailout capitalism, like usual.

Yeah well, that an't happening. Not here.

 

[thereisnospoon]

Is this so Trump can take $1 as his salary like he said he wanted to do?

If so, how could anyone oppose this?

He should be required to live on his public servant's salary while in public office.

Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.

Why not tax rich the into Heaven, by solving simple poverty?

What sense does that make?
So, this would apply to all the wealthy members of Congress, all appointees, etc?
Democrats too?.
I can see it now...."By order of the federal government, you are hereby barred from use of the assets in your accounts"....
Are you abusing controlled substances?

Obama leaves office with the longest job growth streak in over 75 years....
Economy adds 156K jobs in Obama's final monthly report

Trump will cause a recession in his first 90 days, with trade wars and broken treaties.

And you know that social security and medicare are both deductions taken from the pay check to cover the expenses for the future.
You also know that most responsible people pay for their own healthcare. You could point to where I claimed any of this was free.
for you to try and include welfare into these programs that people PAY into is foolish at best.
as far as my shit not flushing? if you for some sick reason want to save it, go for it. my asshole is only a short distance from my wallet so since you already seem to have your hand in that general location, more power to you.

As always, it isn't quantity that matters. A long shit is still a bad outcome.

Lower the unemployment rate by legalizing drug sales, prostitution and pornography.

When that teen goes looking for a first job, there will be plenty of openings.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

If we have mediocre government employees it is because we WANTED mediocre government. Therefore we cut salaries, thus not attracting any but mediocre employees.

You don't set salary based on what you have - you set it on the basis of what you want.

This is just capitalism. Every corporation knows this stuff.

We have mediocre government employees because of A. a lack of accountability to the public and B. affirmative action hiring.

 

[rightwinger]

do you feel the same about our defense industry. even six hundred dollar hammers get more of a pass, than providing for the poor, in a general manner.

in the first place, defense is included in the constitution,

so is providing for the general welfare; that includes the poor, not just the rich.

Welfare isn't for the "general welfare." It only benefits those who receive it. The general welfare clause refers only to the powers specifically enumerated in the Constitution.

It is of the general welfare of all not to maintain a peasant class begging for food

Declining to rob Peter to pay Paul does not equate to "maintaining a peasant class."

It is deciding how best to spend our tax revenue

Can't all go to the wealthy can it?

ROFL! Almost none of it goes to the wealthy, and your retort presumes that government is entitled to take it.

why not, the revenue comes mostly from them in the first place. The welfare crowd puts nothing in, why should then expect anything out?

Agreed owebo.....if you don't like pittance wages(under let's say 14 bucks an hour).....don't apply for those jobs. They are lousy jobs for lousy employers to begin with.

what do you do for capital under any form of capitalism?

I like to wait till my neighbors get home from work, then as they are walking up to the door I jump them and steal the money they have in their pocket.
Sometimes I get lucky and catch them right after they went to the bank for me.

how much representation do you give them, for your "taxation"?

Representation? WTF?
I slap the silly ***** and tell them they better have a bit more in their pocket tomorrow.

no happy camper policy, either?

 

[danielpalos]

Setting salaries at $1 is a backdoor way to eliminate agencies for political reasons

Want to work in the Dept of Energy?
pay is $1

We should end the drug war first. The department of energy promotes the general welfare.

No, the DOE promotes the pollution of the earth and global warming and $100 billion quarterly profits for big oil.

the drug war is worse.
