Why are there 8235 federal employees on unemployment? Why is that total an increase of 533 from the week before? Why the purge of long time federal employees?

Who are they? What are their qualifications? What are their impressions about their dismissal? I am fairly certain there are exit interviews when they leave their government positions. 

My guess is many are inspectors and regulators. Yes? No? Someone needs to chase this down because it is highly unusual. It also appears to be leading up to a government shutdown to justify the purging. Staging. I have to wonder if there is unjustified staging to CYA. Additionally, where has the money from those salaries gone?

What is taking their place? Nothing? Trump is simply throwing people off their jobs?

Donald Trump’s rhetoric operates on old stereotypes. In other words government employees are just sitting around doing nothing but reducing the unemployment rate. That stereotype is frequently racist because many minorities find employment in government positions. I would also expect that reduction in federal employees to have an impact in the states’ government and the private sector. So, what gives? 

I might point out most if not all those jobs are Middle Class jobs. Most government jobs are stable jobs and that is what attracts people to them. In that reality is that federal employees become a part of the brick and mortar of the federal government. With a purging of federal jobs the performance of the government will change.

Are the child detention numbers increasing because their are few to no federal workers carrying out evaluations and reunification or internal placement of those children? Also, why are the children being told they are in jail? They did nothing wrong except love their parents and survive the violence of their country. So, why are the detained children treated as criminals?
