That’s the way to get up the unemployment numbers. Some of these folks actually make a difference. Unfortunately, they are now out looking for work.

You're so damn pathetic. You're just one more little TDS-obsessed bitch, like sfplc and boosie, who would rather eat an elephant poop sandwich than give President Trump credit for anything.

That why almost nobody pays attention to any of you. You have ZERO CREDIBILITY.

Not too shabby.

Let's add another 750K to that tally and then throw in 10 million deportations.....now we're cooking.

It just hit another generational low last month, down another 5,000 Federal employees from the month prior.

And yet almost every single "Libertarian" and "Limited Government Conservative" has been completely silent about the fact that the Federal workforce is at its smallest

Because spending and government have both increased. I'm glad there are less employees but it needs to come because entire departments of government are shut down, like almost all of them.

I think some people are missing what is meant by limited government. You seem to think I want small cuts. In reality, I want 90% of it gone.

None of those people will have trouble finding a job. Now the taxpayer can just pay that person directly instead of overpaying the government to.

all of this is actual small government conservatism, but this forum will downvote you because you're not blindly blowing Trump.

this is great news. kudos to president Trump, but actual right wing people younger than boomers want more. I'm not disappointed in Trump (and especially invertebrate republican, uniparty senators who refuse to work with him as a supermajority) because he's doing too much. I'm disappointed because they're not doing enough. I want the unelected federal bureacracy, its ngos and foreign invaders decimated. some women and weak men will have the sads for a little while, but it's for their own good.

90% sounds like a good number to start off with. a streamlined federal government running at efficiency would catapult this country into a new golden age, but most people, including most "small government conservatives" don't have the balls to follow through.

How? Any idea how many redundant "budget analysts" whose main job was warming an office chair there were?

The tangible benefit to the public of less people working is a reduced budget. That's it. That's the only tangible benefit to the public.

If spending continues to increase at alarming rates while we're in debt spiral territory then a smaller work force doesn't mean anything at all.

I've got a federal government sample size from tens of millions of dollars worth of contracts to draw from. From the rfp author down to the field personnel, the number in people terms is in the hundreds that I've dealt with directly.

not one made a difference. not a damn one.
