There’s more than 2.3 million federal workers ?

Can’t help but feel a lot of things the gubberment run should be civilian things anyway

And you don’t see that as a bloated problem big brother?

I'm assuming it's a question because there is a question mark behind it.

And if they succeed in laying off / firing 2.3 million that would only leave a few hundred thousand. And to think there is over 340 million legal civilian people in the US and 258.3 of them are adults. I hope what is left of the federal government employees can handle whatever people problems come their way.

Then there's always the states, government still but not federal.

Civilians running a lot of things ok, now how would that work out? At least civilians would know you can't sweep a forest fire out.
