PRIEBUS: Next, a federal government employee hiring freeze.<\/p>\nRUSH: Donald Trump just announced a freeze on federal hiring. Here\u2019s how it sounded at the White House…<\/p>\n
TRUMP: Everyone knows what that means, right? We\u2019ve been talking about this for a long time. Okay. Great thing for the American worker, what we just did.<\/p>\n
PRIEBUS: Next, a federal government employee hiring freeze.<\/p>\n
TRUMP: Except for the military.<\/p>\n
PRIEBUS: Except for the military.<\/p>\n
TRUMP: Except for the military.<\/p>\n
RUSH: “Except for the military.” A federal employee hiring freeze. This is sending shock waves through the remnants of the Women\u2019s March.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: So Trump there signs an executive order freezing federal hiring. That\u2019s just the beginning. After the freeze on hiring is going to come the whittling of the federal employee workforce. Trump also signed a notice that starts the process of withdrawing from the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal. But the freeze on federal hiring excludes national security and military people, but it\u2019s part of the Trump 100-day Action Plan to Make America Great Again.<\/p>\n
And there\u2019s a story here at the Politico: “Revenge of the Bureaucrats — Federal workers fume over Trump\u2019s vow to freeze hiring and shrink the government.” Many of them say they\u2019re gonna quit. They\u2019re gonna quit in protest. “Twenty-eight percent of federal employees may quit their jobs when Trump assumes office.” I doubt that that\u2019s happened yet. It\u2019s all just a bunch of words. But they may not have any choice in the matter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
