WASHINGTON, Oct 5 (Reuters) - The Trump administration will start mass layoffs of federal workers if President Donald Trump decides negotiations with congressional Democrats to end a partial government shutdown are "absolutely going nowhere," a senior White House official said on Sunday.

As the shutdown entered its fifth day, White House National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett told CNN's "State of the Union" program he still saw a chance that Democrats would back down, averting a costly shutdown and federal employee layoffs that have been threatened by White House budget director Russell Vought.

Asking myself this question, first people who come to mind are the federal employees who worked in USAID, when that sub-agency was spending like drunken sailors who had just marched in a pride parade. Those who were working for USAID either eagerly particpated in the givaway, went along with it because they have no ethics, or had no idea it was going on because they were "working remotely."

That's my idea, what's yours?

Democrats insert loyal useless workers in the government to support their policies. Fire all of them

Any .gov employee left that are still working from home should be terminated.

Middle management in every department should be laid waste. A GS 11 should be a rare thing to see.

Anyone transferred (warehoused) due to bad behavior/poor work.....Terminated.

I agree. Fire everyone in the federal government. That should really help Trump's agenda.

Trump is already trying to rehire thousands of fired workers because he cant get his agenda executed. Feds cant even keep up with work as Social Security wait times for hearings are 8-9 months now as reported by the SS admin itself.

The administration is now worried that 150,000 Federal Employees Have Agreed To Be Paid Not To Work -Taking Early Retirement.

Fire baby fire

The first to go: trump, vance, miller, johnson.
Incompetent governance.

I forgot one of the worst: Kennedy, the incompetent.

Like I said. An even more incompetent Trump administration is a blessing. Idiots cant get out of their own way.

Just extend the government business several weeks. Progs are not going to get 1.5 trillion dollars added to it.

 

[Blaster]

There are many non essential jobs that can be terminated.

What data do you have to back your claim of incompetence?

Trump should let his butler go along with his chef..

The loss of billions in soybean sales to foreign markets due to Trump's incompetence as a negotiator means that we, the taxpayers, will have to provide ten billion dollars to the farmers. Trump is such a douche.

Trump's janitor, Melania, can be a housewife for once and do her job.

If they had decent qualified management in each DEPT, they call in Supervisors, go over reviews. Discuss who is performing the worst and out they go.

But with DEI managers, TurnCoats, commee filth, LGBTQ etc. The managers probably need to go first.

Did hundreds of thousands of federal employees do their work from home in the Progressive Socialist Communists suburbs of D.C. the last few years? Or did the party? Of course, we end up with Communist Senators from Maryland and Virginia and Representative from those areas affected. An intentional infection over many many decades was pushed in many of our states. The powers that e were successful. To successful. We have Jewish Prog senators and Prog Representatives that are now anti-Israel as just one quandary. And the same party has a growing pro Prog Islam view. Freedom takes a long time in human history. People are fickle. For those who believe in AIPAC conspiracies, if the evangelical Christians stopped their support, I would wonder if the Prog Jewish politicians would change their views.

Early on in the 08'-14' recession Obiden 1.0 hired 1000 GOVT commee DEI workers every day. The obamas each had $125K personal assistants (michelle new record qty. 28?), everything a new record during 15 million American taxpayers laid off.

Where were you then? President Trump is not anywhere near that level of destruction.
