Remember the TSA? After 9/11 they calculated that they would need about 6500 agents; today that figure is north of 60,000.
FedGov = Leviathan.
Since this is a spin-off of FedGov what will be its budget (even thought its mission is to streamline government and reduce costs substantially) and how many people will it have to hire?
I’ll wait right here.

Seems like that job would be more like cleaning barn stalls than anything else. I bet fed gov head count could be reduced 95% with no negative impact and budget dollars reduced by a good 85% with no harm to taxpayers. Get them boys a good wheel barrow and some pitchforks, and make sure the tire is fully inflated and the axle has been greased and let ‘er rip.

I agree. Look at any job where there is no recognizable product. That’s FedGov employment to a T.

It’s getting hotter!
Besides emptying out the coffer of the Dept. of Education, (see article I posted here) check out this NY Post revelation re: waste, and no accounting! We can blame ourselves! We did nothing to stop them. Where is Biden and his Kamala word salad partner? Shame! What consequence will they get?

They could have just let Ron Paul get together with the folks at the Ludwig von Mises Institute to just go through the books and the Constitution and put a red line through everything not allowed. I bet they would happily have done it for free…just to force everyone to read their report and to see the outcome. Sorry, government efficiency is an oxymoron. The ONLY efficient government is a NON-EXISTENT GOVERNMENT.

It gets me that when we have a winter storm the word is put out that “only essential government employees are to report for work”.

Well, “essential” the only kind of government employee that there should be, whether local, state or federal.

Their biggest problem will be Base Line Budgeting. That needs to be changed. Our local DCMA is giving away brand new lap tops at the end of the fiscal. It’s a joke.
