But yeah, this is all a sham. They'll just fire and cut salaries of programs they hate and dump all the money into agencies they love while farming out contracts to their friends and relatives in business. Just like the private sector LMAOOZZZ

It is clearly going to be used for political reasons not reasons of management efficiency, no doubt. And it will be corrupt as hell. SO SAD.

I have exactly zero faith that this administration can in fact oversee the rational cuts and restructuring needed, however. Congress should in fact have VERY broad power to manage the federal workforce.

Oh, there'll be rational cuts and restructuring, alright.  Just not where you think it would be.  Public health?  Pfft.  Environment?  Ha!  Food chain safety?  Teh market!

Enjoy your new drinking water arsenic levels, America.  Oh wait, you'll never know because there'll be nobody to test for it, LOLZ. #DTS

Seedy hates the private sector almost as much as Obama does.

To be fair the private sector really hates him as well.

Obama was pro-TPP so he was a private sector warrior. Unlike that Commie Autarky Trump.

Back in undergrad I had a summer job one year working for an analytics company.  Specifically, they put me in charge of testing water samples for arsenic.

It's a relatively simple test to conduct.  Hundreds, probably thousands, of companies can do it.
Posts here are my own private opinions.  I do not speak for my employer.

Who cares if it is simple or not?

I don't want to rely on myself to test for every possible pathogen in my fucking water. OOPS I MISSED ONE MARKET FAIL YOU DIE.

It was mildly amusing to see some of the Feds I work with have a few minor bushels of kittens over this article in the paper yesterday. 
But I see no reason, if I can lose my job for making too much money, why a federal employee can't, either.  Seems only fair.
