I worked for the federal government 1975-1976. State Department, Agency for International Development, Contracts department. I was there as a secretary. I was bottom of the totem pole. There was a secretary over me who had been there for a long time. Her name was Loretta Moton..

My job consisted of typing up the contracts for A.I.D. This was before computers, so I had to use an electric typewriter.

My boss, Virginia Perelli, gave me a contract to type up. An hour later I was finished and turned it in and asked for another one. She gave me another one and I typed that up too. I carried on in this manner every day. It was the job.

Perelli seemed happy. She could not promote me fast enough.

Loretta took me aside and said You are working too fast. You are making the rest of us look bad. (the other secretaries).

This attitude mystified me and I ignored her and kept on working the way that I work.

Loretta's approach to work - make a 1-hour job take 2 weeks - is emblematic of the federal bureaucracy's work ethic.

I fully support mass layoffs of 75% of the federal workforce. They will not be missed.

Well, I didn't know he recommended firing 75% of federal employees. That sounds like a fantastic idea. That said, I think he just says what people want to hear.

Vivek is just like Obama ... a creation of the Cabal, smooth-talking, says all the right things. And he is a WEF butt-boy.

Jon, I'd like to hear your advise to Dr. Shiva Ayyudurai's campaign manager.

Also, why do you think most podcasters seem to overlook him?

He could film just how much revenue is generated from too many unnecessary work licenses. And how it causes the consumer pay far more than needed by this control mechanism place on unnecessary jobs. And how certification could replace them.

The only problem is getting bureaucrats to talk. They are blackmailed by the State because of their pensions and benefits.

If the State put out a memo to all current and retired government employees not to talk to any political candidate or lose their job and pension, the bureaucrats would obey the order like dogs.
