Anybody with some sense could've told you this, the private sector is constantly making headlines for laying off thousands of workers, they don't have these positions available waiting for someone to come and apply, smh.... and now you introduce thousands upon thousands of laid off workers and tell them "just go apply in the private sector." This sh*t is a catastrophe waiting to happen.
Not to mention, you lay off someone with 10+ years of experience in Federal Govt. making 80K, and go tell them to find that same job in the private sector, and now all they can find is 40K jobs.
I'm sure this is a great chess move by our geniuses in the white house which we all haven't figured out yet.
Amazing.
