Bureaucracy is not down without a fight

     Drain the swamp, eh? This is how the nearly 2.1 million federal and administrative employees feel after Trumps order of Monday to freeze all federal hiring. A wave of uneasiness washed over the bureaucrats as they thought of the lawncare business they'll be able to start. They're mad. 

     However, These employees have some ways to stop what's happening. First of all, nearly 85% of these government workers are apart of unions. So that they pretty much can protect these employees from a lot of Trump Trimming. In addition to the unions, there are federal lookouts in congress to make sure everything is sitting nicely. For congress to let the Executive make sweeping cuts amongst themselves is not unheard of, but it would burn bridges, definantly. 

     There is totally a way to reduce government and not be a fear monger. Be Obama. The number of federal employees naturally decreased during his terms. Even with the birth and implementation of ObamaCare. Funny how that is. 

     Now the last time something like this happened, it was actually Ronald Reagan. It always takes a republican to decide the government is too big. Reagan began making sweeping cuts to the bureaucrats and there was a lot of fear surrounding that. The situation is similar to today, however more fear tactics are being added on. The house recently revived an 1876 law that says with house and senate majority vote, the pay of an individual federal employee can be decreased. This pissed off the unions to no end, because now the barrier could no longer support the entirety of the federal employees. If a federal employee speaks out, they can be punished. 

All in all, things are not looking good for federal employees. However it could be 1,100,100.000 employees that are done wrong, before someone takes it to a court. This requires patience and the perfect plaintiff.
