Honestly, who gives a shit about the turnout?

But don't let facts get in the way of your alternative facts.

Keep trolling...

I'll also note, the language in the Executive order (which is not posted fully online yet btw), is really vague and the DOD and VA are scrambling to see if that applies to them as well.

Drain the swamp.

Also, WTF does he really believe there was 3-4M in voter fraud? That is indefensible right now.

I think you are confusing the GAO with the CBO....

QuakerOats;1834035 wrote:Having fewer employees is less costly than having more employees. I understand it is a difficult and complex equation.

Government is not an entity whose charge it is is to grow and gain market share, and thus having more employees, such as in sales and revenue development, is desirable and will result in bottom line gains.

Is there a KoolAid Anonymous chapter near you?

ptown_trojans_1;1834036 wrote:Hey, all I was saying was the GAO reported after the fact, in the 80s, that in fact that was not the case. It actually cost the Gov. more to have the freeze than not. That may or may not apply to today.
Is the Gov. bloated, yes, just look at the back end of the DOD.
But, it has to be done the right way. Just slapping a freeze is kind of dumb as honestly we have been in a freeze for some agencies since sequestration.

We're about to have four insanely petty years.
