As an approach to creating a cost-effective civil service it’s obviously not a great idea.
But as veterans policy it seems at least plausibly correct.
I think you have a point but all you had to do was add 'hired in last year' to make it more relevant. When you do that the number the liberal journalist wants to be high goes down. This is why we are frustrated with journalists man. Maybe an honest mistake but like 2 pt out
They also don’t realize how many Fed workers vote for Republicans. A significant minority of Fed workers I’ve worked with professionally are conservative. Attacking them obviously kneecaps GOP in VA, but will hurt across the country. Even biggest MAGA fed worker will turn now.
Government jobs programs are peak economic waste imo. If a private business that has to get its own money by legitimate means wants to operate as a jobs program then no problem. But using tax payer dollars to create permanent position, many that could be automated, drives

We help Veterans secure their benefits with Medical Evidence and Nexus Letters. Are you, or someone you know, working on a VA Disability claim? We can help!
See I don’t think we should have a jobs program for anyone Matt. We should have jobs because we need those *jobs*
Or a jobs program for blacks.
Based on the available information, approximately 18.6% of non-Department of Defense (DOD) civilian employees in the federal government are Black. This figure is derived from data indicating that the federal workforce has a higher representation of

Singapore style - elite employees in the government at elite salaries ain’t a future for the US. Anybody going to a government job in the future would need their heads examined
Would you wear this? Each purchase funds a service dog for veterans who are suffering from PTSD!

And if the far left wasn't "throwing gold bars off the Titanic", we could afford such a jobs program.
Much of this has to do with pension portability, you can increase a federal pension or collect two pensions by continuing your federal service.
About 6% of US population are veterans
About 30% of federal civilian workforce are veterans
About 87% used veteran hiring "preference" for civil service positions
We like our veterans but we don’t think the govt should be a jobs program. These vets can get honest jobs producing goods and services in the private sector.
That's the least of which parts of our society are impacted and underpinned by government programs that they don't understand.

It also has a draw for one of the few ways to get a double pension with a 401K
Veterans and red state welfare are some of the largest recipients of DEI programs.
I’m one…and many of us are fully behind this drawdown
We’ve known for years it was needed. The agency I worked for grew from 5k to 20k when I was there. Unsustainable

Veterans get a huge advantage when applying for jobs so that is a big part as to why this is
If you have military experience it would make sense that that experience would benefit the department of defense.

That was why I specifically asked about non-DOD civilian employees.
The share of veterans at the Pentagon is higher.
Keep shilling for govt fraud, waste, and abuse
How's the engagement revenue?
Playing the veterans card is not going to win you arguments. The government needs to be run like a business, not like a charity. Over the years, these seats have become over inflated, unnecessary, and unmanaged. It's time to stop the wasteful spending
The vet - gov pipeline isn’t because vets can’t hack it anywhere else though, but because the government gives them preference in hiring. Drop the preference and more would go into private sector immediately.
