A meaningful reduction in staff could be a nice tax break even if they later replace the head count


Aka 35% reduction 3-4 months to get fully staffed

American tax payer = profit

Most are probably not mentally able to attain jobs in the private sector that they FEEL are good enough for them. They look down on the average working class American, why would they join them?

Tell the Democrats to agree and this is over. The Republicans have brought to the table twice now to have a paycheck given to government workers during the shut down.... guess who didn’t show up!?! The frickin Democrats!

Half of them could quit and your taxes still wouldn't go down.

Maybe if the shutdown went on for a 6 month and we hit 50% quit rate at 3 months we save one quarter of back pay

They would just hire more Federal Contractors and your taxes would increase because they'd have to pay them more.

Funny half of my crew has already gotten temporary second jobs in the private sector to pay the bills even after being assured we will receive back pay. Getting 2 checks and only working 1 job. Pretty good for a bunch of mentally challenged dumbasses. Go frick yourself!!

Let me ask you...You know you got backpay coming and you are still free to get a second job, you quitting the first one before you get your backpay?

Bunch of private sector geniuses we got on the board tonight!!

Every single one of the ones currently sitting at home are. Along with most of the ones being forced to work without a check. Don't think those TSA agents calling in sick aren't working other jobs. Cause many are.
