At least they're open about it: The entire point (according to them) is attrition. The actual plan is to make work for these people much more hostile so they quit.
Do you think our tax bills will drop if they succeed in forcing these million employees to quit?
They said they want to run the government like a business, and it looks like that's what they're pursuing. Unfortunately, that just means they'll give us the lowest quality service at the highest possible price.
They'll spend all of their time changing the direction of what everyone is working on, hiring and firing people, and doing re-orgs...just like a real US business!
