Trump 47

This is obvious. Every Federal worker that they are getting rid of is getting paid for nothing right now. Most are getting early retirement which costs more. And, because contrary to their idiot beliefs, the federal workers do actually do stuff so we have to hire. Add in all the time and expense finding "office space" and it makes total sense that they are ballooning the budgets. Breathtaking incompetence. But, the supporters don't care about reality. Real numbers like budgets are just considered "deep state." They believe what he says, even when they are obvious lies.

The building they put me in had a pipe burst over the weekend. They have generators and fans going trying to dry it out, which isn't working very well in this humidity. It stinks from mildew so they have cranked the ac down to about 60 degrees so it is freezing.
Gee, seems like a good reason to let a doctor work from home for a week so he is out of the way of the cleaning crews and can actually take care of patients? Nope, I'm sitting there in the noise and the stink, freezing my ass off. Government efficiency.

And because they canned a bunch of people doing actual work and pushed a lot more out via retirement, until they are replaced I'm sure amount and quality of work being done hasn't been effected, right.

So what you're saying is, we've spent a ton of money to screw with people's lives, and get less for our money. Awesome.

It's all just messaging though, look at how much DOGE has claimed in savings. People never put 1/2 a brain cell to if anything they are saying makes a bit of sense.

This is why government shouldn’t be looked at as a business.

My sister was a state worker. They "retired" her and brought in a crony to fill her position at a higher salary. Crony could not keep up so they hired her an assistant at my sister's salary. The two of them still not competent, so they were canned. Sis did the job for decades and since then they have gone through like 6 people trying to fill the role.

Something very much like your post happened to me. I was replaced at my prior agency with the Director's running buddy former prosecutor.

My replacement was let go for this....

His replacement resigned for this....

As OSBI Commission gets AG report on director, general counsel resigns for racial slur in email

As the OSBI Commission reviews a completed investigation into allegations against the agency's director, its general counsel has resigned.

And they are now on their fourth or fifth general counsel in the past six years that I have been gone. On their third Director over six years as well.

After twenty years of managing somehow to not embarrass the agency I worked for and advising five different directors through that time, I will confess to record high levels of schadenfreude at the moment.

Stephen Miller: "Children will be taught to love America. Children will be taught to be patriots. Children will be taught civic values for schools that want federal taxpayer funding. So as we close the Dept of Education and provide funding to states, we're going to make sure these funds are not being used to promote communist ideology."

Weijia Jiang: "The Admin has stresssed the need for price transparency. Why is it a political/hostile act for Amazon to display prices?"

Stephen Miller: "First of all, that proposal is gone. Anything made in California has a massive price increase. Why wouldn't Amazon have a list saying if you purchase it in California instead of Alabama, this is the price you pay. This is a clear attempt to try to undermine our trade negotiations with China. A lot of products sold on Amazon are ripoffs."

So the guy who added the reporter to the Illegal Signal Chat is going to get canned...but not the guy using an unsecure App illegally has full confidence

So the Person who accidently exposed the Illegality of what they are doing to the Press takes the Fall #Trumpworld.



WASHINGTON − Mike Waltz, President Donald Trump's national security advisor, is set to leave his White House post amid continued fallout weeks after he accidentally invited a journalist into a chat between top national security officials discussing plans for Yemen airstrikes.


A source familiar with the situation on May 1 confirmed Waltz' exit, as well as deputy national security advisor Alex Wong.

Trump had publicly stood by Waltz after his national security adviser and other members of the chat vigorously denied sharing any classified war plans on the publicly available app Signal. The chat was revealed when Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, published a March 24 story detailing how Waltz accidentally invited him into the communications.
