Federal Employees Worried About Jobs If Trump Wins

Federal employees throughout the executive branch have begun to fear as Donald Trump does better and better in polling against Kamala Harris.

Politico writes:

Federal employees throughout the executive branch are panicking at the thought of another Trump administration.

Former President Donald Trump has pledged to “demolish the deep state.” His running mate, Ohio Republican Sen. JD Vance, has said Trump ought to fire “every civil servant in the administrative state.” It’s not just campaign-trail bluster. In the waning days of his first administration, Trump sought to make it easier to fire federal employees — a move that was quickly reversed by the Biden administration.

Workers in some agencies are particularly distraught about a possible Trump return. The former president and his allies have singled out certain agencies — including those that issue environmental rules — as prime targets, should he return to office in January.

Climate, clean energy and conservation programs scaled up and burnished with cash during the Biden administration are certain to be lightning rods for Trump and his team. That’s looming large over energy and environmental workers, who are feeling the pressure on a professional level as they’re hustling to get Biden’s priorities wrapped up in the coming months. It’s also hitting them personally as they fear they might soon be out of a job.

One of the concerns for federal workers is that they may have to actually live among the American population rather than in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. In September, The Associated Press wrote that “worries of being uprooted from their jobs have returned for Laura Dodson and other federal workers, who have long been the economic backbone of the nation’s capital and its suburbs.

During former President Donald Trump ‘s administration, her office under the U.S. Department of Agriculture was told it would be moving. About 75 people were going to be relocated to Kansas City, Missouri, Dodson said, but less than 40 actually moved. A rushed process that failed to consider the need to find homes, jobs for spouses and schools for children prompted some retirements, she said, and some took other federal jobs, hurting the agency in the end.

Now, with Trump proposing the relocation of up to 100,000 federal jobs from Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia under his Agenda 47 plan, concerns about being abruptly moved are again troubling federal workers.”

  1. Government “civil service” has been the largest most costly, politically and financially” scam ever created by politicians in Congress. Even socialist FDR was opposed to it. He called it a case of “government corruption against the taxpayers”. There are multiple generations of the same families that have never not had a “government job”. This is wrong. The fact that this issue even has it’s own name “Deep State” is an indication of how corrupt the practice is. The people employed should have “one main requirement” and that is their political alliance must not be used on the job in any way. The only way for that to be enforced is to fired them all when the administration changes. Barack Obama discovered the benefit of this scam immediately and used it to this day. The Deep State is completely capable of controlling the actual government by enforcing their political bias upon their job activity. THIS MUST BE STOPPED. We have witnessed what the Deep State is capable of over the past seven years. This is the reason Elon Musk has offered to be involved in this issue; to be in charge of the government civil service efficiency audit that every private sector business does on a daily basis, weeding out inefficiency and corruption. U.S. government civil service is a “rats nest” of liberalism and needs to be “cleaned out”. It will save the U.S. taxpayers billions of dollars.

  2. GO GO GO Mr President Trump.
    Don’t forget to give Education Dept the heave-ho also
    Get us out of NATO
    Get us out of the phony Climate/Paris bulls…
    Drill baby drill
    Get us out of the U.N. and kick them out of New York.
