I'm a contractor so I'm not too worried. There's always a next job and the axe swinging this time doesn't change that a bit for me. Besides, I've got enough savings to weather this storm for a number of years if things get well and truly dire.

For real though there is so much dead weight in government it is unreal. Incompetent low-IQ NPCs as far as the eye can see. I've seen at least two utterly useless(as in hard zero productivity rather than just substandard) people scrub out of my office in the past two years and we're not even a sizeable outfit.
