1. Force senior employees to retire, or simply leave,

defund those agencies to further depress morale and productivity, and then the GOP will criticize the same agencies for what work they can do and suggest privatization as the only solution.

And those people who can be fooled all of the time will again vote for the GOP.

4. The problem is fuckface, bannon, their

fans, and that is what they are, fans, believe the government is the problem.

That there should be little if ANY employed by the federal government.

None of these complete idiots realize every area of their lives rely almost ENTIRELY on government at one level or another.

They will destroy the government, will it be too late to fix it then?

5. The disability community and those who provide services to them are scared too

I can tell from first hand experience. No one knows what Price and DeVos are going to do or what is going to happen to Medicaid and SSDI.

Bannon is an "ableist" - you can look that up - a term I had not heard until this shitstorm formed.
