Wow.

No question about 30% of gubment employees can be removed from their roles, and nary a thing will be lost to taxpayers---and a whole lot of improvement will come along. Rules, regulations, and decisions by UNelected people cause $billions of waste for private citizens every year. Get rid of dept of education(what an oxymoron), get rid of dept of agriculture(states know more about their areas than idiots in dc), get rid of the dept of labor(work--what work).

Here is a list of all the "agencies" operating a federal level--read um and weep;
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_federal_agencies_in_the_United_States

Here is quick look at "NON-essential people in some departments;
According to OMB data compiled by Government Executive, here are the percentages of federal employees deemed “nonessential” by department (among those departments that don’t already have full fiscal year 2019 appropriations):

HUD – 95.4%
Commerce – 86%
Treasury – 83.3%
Interior – 76%
Agriculture – 66.5%

And DEFICITS--caused by tax CUTS---hardly any truth in that wild lie either;

The federal government collected record total tax revenues of $458,653,000,000 in October and November, the first two months of fiscal 2019, according to the Monthly Treasury Statement!!!!!!

FED REVENUES are at all time HIGHS---sadly the scum politicos never stop spending increases!!

Hope the "shutdown" continues for months--should save taxpayers a bundle of $$$$!!

I've worked on 2 government jobs and the waste wouldn't be believed by most people. Sitting aside the waste, I couldn't count the times I've seen half-assed work followed by the phrase "close enough for government work". The gov is to big, to wasteful, to inefficient and to crooked.

Government needs to be gutted.
