Trump's plan - When shutdown hits 30 days, furloughed workers can be FIRED

[Text Drivers are Killers]

This is interesting. Most govt workers have makework jobs they got via affirmative action and should be fired. In fact they should have never been hired.

jan 15 2019 Has President Trump suckered Democrats and the Deep State into a trap that will enable a radical downsizing of the federal bureaucracy? In only five more days of the already "longest government shutdown in history" (25 days and counting, as of today), a heretofore obscure threshold will be reached, enabling permanent layoffs of bureaucrats furloughed 30 days or more.

Don't believe me that federal bureaucrats can be laid off? Well, in bureaucratese, a layoff is called a RIF – a Reduction in Force – and of course, it comes with a slew of civil service protections. But, if the guidelines are followed, bureaucrats can be laid off – as in no more job. It is all explained by Michael Roberts here (updated after the beginning of the partial shutdown):

That sounds like a great way to gain more votes in the future.

Most americans know that govt workers are useless and will be glad to see them fired. Better to have them on welfare at $30,000 a year than doing a useless govt job that pays them $70,000.

Firing 42000 coast guard workers is probably not smart but then again you prove that you aren't very smart everyday

You can fire them but they get priority hiring for other government jobs via the civil service system

My gawd. If that's true the country is really crazy. They should be the last person the govt hires for another govt job.

yeah, let's just shut down the federal government

Vladimir Putin says bring it on!

There are some wrinkles to the system but it is pretty bizarre. I knew a woman who worked at the department of agriculture when they were doing the buyouts. She applied for a job in a different department and got the wink she was going to be hired with a bump up from her current job so she could take the $50K buyout from Ag and then was immediately hired in Labor.

Thanks for confirming what we already know about the Democrat Party's vote-getting scheme: jobs for votes.
