It appears that some of your SES swamp buddies jobs are in jeopardy.

A twofer by Trump draining the swamp and building the wall by executive order if need be. The wall would be paid for in a couple of years if most SES shadow government workers were let go. What a bargain.

The Daily Caller anonymous op-ed written by,

“As one of the senior officials working without a paycheck, a few words of advice for the president’s next move at shuttered government agencies: lock the doors, sell the furniture, and cut them down.” (SES)

“On an average day, roughly 15 percent of the employees around me are exceptional patriots serving their country. I wish I could give competitive salaries to them and no one else. But 80 percent feel no pressure to produce results. If they don’t feel like doing what they are told, they don’t.

Why would they? We can’t fire them.

Most of my career colleagues actively work against the president’s agenda. This means I typically spend about 15 percent of my time on the president’s agenda and 85 percent of my time trying to stop sabotage, and we have no power to get rid of them.

Until the shutdown...

But President Trump can end this abuse. Senior officials can re-prioritize during an extended shutdown, focus on valuable results and weed out the saboteurs. We do not want most employees to return, because we are working better without them...”
