    Don’t like him and not sure how well this is gonna work out BUT there are too many useless people in government jobs in a lot of countries and with their work ethic they often couldn’t hold jobs in the more competitive free market so I agree with the core principle of what they want to do, but I am sure the approach will be total ass.

      Yes, there is a shit ton of dead weight in the government contractor sector, just soaking up that delicious tax money for minimal effort. But I have a feeling these aren’t the employees being targeted right now.

        That’d be cutting federal contracts. I read the headline as dealing with people employed directly by the federal government, not indirectly hired through private companies.

        I am you that it’d be a much better way to cut fat from the budget.
