One criteria for foreign aid in my book would be this very simple test - 'Do you have a nuclear bomb? If yes, then no aid for you'. Because if China, India and Pakistan can afford to spend billions on developing/expanding/improving/maintaining nuclear weapons, then you have the money and the resources to take better care of your people.
Buyouts and packages. Still cost effective.
only if coupled with a restructuring plan, if we just hand out pink slips, we will still have the same ineffective civil service
this I like - lets add a forensic accounting of the money we taxpayers give other nations and how it is distributed.
Oh neat. They must have won the quiet war on foreign interference from Russia, China, Iran and India without telling anyone. That’s awesome that those countries have stopped their efforts to muck about in US democracy and institutions.
Trump thrives on chaos. The more there is the greater the need for an authoritarian government to deal with the problem.
Agreed. But voluntary WFA will yield a lot of volunteers. Last round a buddy of mine was WFAed and he went on the alternation and people offered him cash to switch. 7k was the highest offer he got from someone wanting to switch.
4d chess dude. Trust in the plan.
That sounds like a misapplication of policy.
If he was going to take this approach (and my current guess he wouldn’t), he wouldn’t have to offer the buyout to every public servant. Changing the highest levels of bureaucratic management might be enough.
Could be a targeted approach. Using the current rules anyone within a certain window can get severance and early pension. A lot of those people would jump at that.
