bighairymike: So 75% on day one is clearly ridiculous. But it is reasonable that a large number could be eliminated over the course of one or two terms as president.
ges: But the idea that you could eliminate 75% of the federal workforce? Insane. You cannot have a modern society without adequate government. This is just stupid. Can you make it more efficient? Yes.
Well, Vivek baffles me. He's polling at about 7% but his ideas are insane. Since defense and security-related agencies account for more than 70% of the entire federal workforce, promising to gut 75% really is insane.
Even if he only goes after the civilian employees at the Department of Defense agencies, they account for about 36% of the civilian federal workforce.
Vivek also wants to raise the voting age to 25 and end birthright citizenship. Yeah, I know... Constitutional amendments are pesky things, dontchaknow.
But, hey, he was a successful businessman, so he must know how to lead government.
Oh wait.
