"I've fired underperformers in the private sector. I'm going to it for probably 75% of the people who work as federal bureaucrats in the government in Washington, D.C...Mass layoffs are absolutely what I'm bringing to the D.C. bureaucracy." -- Vivek Ramaswamy via Erick Erickson

@VivekGRamaswamy @EWErickson Nothing says “I love veterans” quite like calling them all lazy and threatening to fire them.

He will find that challenging. It's not quite that easy to fire civil servants. Also, it would cause mass dysfunction. We already have a huge turnover because in many cases, workers can make more money in the private sector. That's especially true in my line of work, Cybersecurity

Who’s going to tell him?

@VivekGRamaswamy @EWErickson I guess if a man gets a decent haircut, wears a dark suit, red tie, white shirt, and calls himself a Republican, he can say almost any ridiculous thing on American news programs.

@VivekGRamaswamy @EWErickson Tell me you don’t know how the Federal Government work without saying you have no idea how the Federal Government works. I’ll give you a hint Viveck both Civil Service and Union protection. Simple solutions to complex problems seldom work

@VivekGRamaswamy @EWErickson Trump did exactly what V is proposing when he cut funding to the CDC team that helped other countries defeat infectious diseases and then fired the entire US pandemic response team and didn't replace them. So, yeah. Follow trump's ideas. That plan worked out so well...

@VivekGRamaswamy @EWErickson Bringing the country to a screeching halt is the only kind of ‘governance’ the right wingers seem interested in.
