One of Donald Trump's first acts as president was to freeze federal hiring, but he has decided to lift that directive in favor of a refined plan to try to resize the government to meet his agenda and campaign pledges. The January prohibition on new hiring is replaced Wednesday with what Office of Management and Budget Direct Mick Mulvaney called a “smarter plan” that the administration hopes will complement Trump’s budget priorities and lead to a redrawing of the executive branch from the ground up.

On the surface that sounds like a good idea... if his plan is good. Lets hope it is!

Only in your pea sized brain. Winning an election when only given a 1% chance to win when he announced, I'd call getting that right.

Hiring freeze is never meant to be permanent dumbass. You shrink the size of the nanny state through attrition naturally.

I am for shrinking the federal government. And phasing in cuts is the way to do it. You have to do it over years.

The point is; once again, Trump declares a, ends up doing b. Presidents are supposed to put a little thought into their initiatives. It shows he doesn't know what the hell hes doing.

Looks to me like he's doing exactly what he said he would, and doing it well. He implemented the hiring freeze to show everyone what can happen if they don't spend smarter and adhere to his plan.

Only a libtard like awant would describe this as a failure. Trump put a freeze on hiring, assessed the situation, and found a smarter way to accomplish his goal of shrinking the workforce. Just ask Jindal what long-term freezes do.

If that old boy survives having made that statement he is some kind of ALPHA LOL....the Presidents plan is being replaced with a smarter plan....that is some funny shite right there I don't care who you are....and I would bet that this dude is a consumate politician and has made a career out of not pissing people off and being very guarded about statements and positions...but even those kinds of rat bastards can't stay clear of the Trump train LOL..

Kind of out of context; Carter & Reagan both initiated hiring freezes when assuming office. BHO had various freezes while in office. Trump's freeze was given an end date in the EO,it was never meant to be permanent.

Careful now. It's that kind of talk that lands you on the platform to board the train. Next thing you know, you are wearing a coat. Freedom is addictive.

There will be no appreciable attrition.
