    Is being on the dole all they are good for?

    I doubt they could get much worse than they are now. Cut the staffing and we really won't notice much difference except government debt.

    Less than they are right now. On public assistance they will get about 50% of what we pay them now for doing nothing and no pensions or Cadillac benefits packages to pay for.

    As the economy grows due to acts like this by Trump they will be forced to get real jobs

    Have you ever tried to call a government office and talk to a real person?

    Are you saying the only reason people can't find jobs in the economy now isn't because they are incompetent or unqualified?

    Unemployment costs the taxpayer less than govt jobs. Luckily Trump is bringing in heaps of jobs before he even takes office.

    Trump has brought in less than 10,000 jobs. How is that going to cover for half a million new people on welfare?

    You have no idea how many jobs he has brought in. How many is Bayer creating? He has also done all of this in a month, before even having taken office or weilding any power. We will hold you firm as you watch with horror the fraud and waste being cleaved from a bloated federal government. We suggest you dont look, but we know you need to traumatize yourself in order to heal. We will drag you kicking and screaming into prosperity. Then one day, you will be seated at a restauraunt, the kind with waiters, and stop anger shivering long enough to look around and see how happy your fellow americans are. Some year, far from then, you will hear something that triggers trauma echoes from the surgery you watched, and you will demand change. We will smile and nod, pat you on the head and ask if you have tried the Ahi tuna here.

    Yay! No more fraud and waste and "job killing regulations"!

    Soon we can race China to bottom and have our very own sweatshops and unbreathable air!

    Have you ever called Healthcare.Gov? Those people have no idea what they are talking about. The web site is still broken. The friends of Moochele that built the web site have never been made to fix it and don't even get me started on the IRS, fire em all. :eekeyes:

    The time of empire building in the federal government seems at an end. And the citizens rejoice...

    I doubt they'd even be missed, at some point to much redundancy confuses the whole process!

    Give him a chance, he isn't president yet. How many jobs did Obama create before he became president?

    Hard to create jobs in the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression.

    I have no problem and encourage people to earn a living, we have too many working for the government who do not.

    i agree, it is a lot easier to say one will make cuts, it is another to implement

    OR they'll farm the services out to a contract company who will do it cheaper for the same lousy service.

    Not for Trump, he is quite adept at saying "you're fired" :clapping:
