#1 Oh my heavenly daze - yet another reason to vote for 'the best qualified individual since Bill Clinton'.

Scare tactics. Fire the useless political appointees, who want to move to somewhere else, anyway. Let the rest expire in place.

#2 If George W. had done this he would have had a much easier time as President and would not have had to put up with all of the "leaks" and innuendo from Langley and Foggy Bottom

#6 It should be very easy to fire anyone in Washington and they should expect to be cut lose at any infraction. What we have now is an abomination where lifetime bureaucrats feel unconstrained by the law.

Of course a lot of the loudmouths said they'd quit (which they won't but which would make life a bit easier for everyone if they did).

#7 The loudmouths would still want their pension and I'm not sure what that status would be if they quit.

#8 If they quit they should get unemployment for 3 months or whatever the standard is.
