Who asked them to compromise the country?

The House and Senate need to take brave Americans into accord with dismissed federal workers, too. We are responsible to them, too.

Treaties are required to go through Congress. The president can negotiate a treaty, but, that is where it stops. If it becomes a USA interest it gets complicated while in a war zone.

We have had contractors in a war zone before and it didn’t go well. Not that Ukraine is Iraq, but, the idea contractors would be safe with two countries claiming the same land gets to be a safety and security issue. So, I don’t see any of that happening until there was a solid peace.

One other thing.

Were all these federal employees debriefed before their jobs were eliminated?

Senator Murkowski is frequently a voice of reason. It is unfortunate the House and Senate are occupied with tiding up after Trump.

If downsizing government was conducted properly…

…former federal employee wouldn’t be wandering aimlessly in hopes something would turn up.

This mass elimination of federal employees is typical of Trump’s “I have not got a clue what I am doing,” administration.

The unemployed federal workers were not fired. Their jobs were wrongfully eliminated. They should be eligible for unemployment benefits. 

When large organizations, especially government, need to HELP people find employment they frequently turn to events like job fairs where educated people can find their next job. 

It is not unusual for government staff to wax and wane in numbers as needs change with any society, not just the USA. But, there are right ways and wrong ways to accomplish the same goal without hubris or damaging reputations of good people doing the jobs asked of them.

To begin, everyone of the former federal employees should have been provided at least one good reference in their pursuit of continuing their careers.

Secondly, any elected official knows government work can be very specialized and not easily translated into a private sector job. That means some of these wonderful people will need guidance to where they can find retraining which means they need support to achieve that goal so they don’t lose everything they worked for to date. That support can take many forms such as a hold on student debt payments, paid for childcare, and other supplementary measures not normally would not be extended to them for the length of their retraining.

The Congress can write bills to ease this burden on the federally unemployed as soon as representatives and Senators understand the needs they face. The best thing any federally unemployed can do is write their elected officials to provide an understanding of their stark reality and ask for help until they are on their own again.

These folks cannot be abandoned for the benefit of tax relief. They need support so they maintain their health, both medically and mentally. There better not be a tragedy of desperation among even one of these very wonderful people.

Just because Trump does care about them or this country is no excuse for their impoverishment. They are our responsibility and the country needs to rise to the occasion.

The Underbelly of the USA

Quite a contrast to the wealth and hubris of CPAC. Every one of the Americans cited in this article are capable of becoming contributing members of society.

They are neglected in a greed laden society that wants to destroy its own government.

I worked at University Hospital in Newark in the years when Newark was second in the nation for HIV cases. I know such rehabilitation by dedicated professionals it is possible. It takes long term commitment as was the case decades ago when the USA took on Appalachia.

Every one of these Americans need medical attention, mental health intervention, and rehabilitation. They need long term commitments and not simply 28 days.

The most tragic of these Americans are the isolated forgotten by J. D. Vance. This family was been living in isolation with government representatives that call this freedom and liberty.

J.D. Vance made a lot of money off a movie. It hasn’t done a darn thing for these people. He never legislated for them when he had the chance. The lives of, I believe it is the Whitaker family with an address in Odd, West Virginia, are absolute tragedies with a brother that passed away.

Where are the social workers? Where are the teachers? Where is the good work of Medicaid? Where are the food stamps? 

If a journalist was able to win their trust over with years of visits, there is no excuse for the absence of compassion that exists in their lives.

So, while conservatives rule in West Virginia politically and exploit the resources of the state this is what they leave in their wake. People so isolated they never see doctors to correct their inbred impairments. They never understand that the lives they live are harmful to themselves and wrong. To realize one of these men can understand language just fine, but, can only answer questions with the bark of communication he learned from his dogs is to speak to the DECADES of neglect and isolation their government ignored while sailing boats in DC.

All these Americans need help. They need to be approached with an understanding their lives can improve.

If there is one Whitaker family in Odd, West Virginia; then there are others. With fewer and fewer people controlling the wealth in the world and that wealth being channeled into highly speculative projects as AI and Mars residency where most human beings will sustain blindness, there is little hope for any humanitarian effort and J.D. Vance’s American underbelly will go on forever with unsustainable lives.

So, what then is Jamie Dimon’s answer for these people? Dimon thinks DoGE is necessary. I guess Dimon needs another house, or limo, or diamond ring. 

So while Trump trashes the government of the USA with a military that protected their penthouses, they are applauding Trump’s abandonment of morality and decency. Worshipping money will do that. Maybe Wall Street needs as much rehabilitation or more.

This is called anarchy.

Trump abdicated his presidency to anarchy. He continues to turn his junk yard dog lose in the face of a country in shock that any of this is even possible.

Anarchy is unconstitutional.

Who in the vast Middle Class of the United States of America could even conceive the thought this could happen? Just a blanket elimination of a democracy the world looked to for hope, compassion, and leadership? 

This is called hubris and it is disgusting. The entire world is witnessing a sham government and wondering what angle they can play. It is a travesty of governance. Everyone responsible in allowing it should be removed from office.
