You'll give it up once he's in charge or find another job.

In another sign that the transition isn’t proceeding as smoothly as President Obama professes, the Energy Department refused Tuesday to provide President-elect Donald Trump’s team with a list of federal employees who have worked on climate-change programs.

White House press secretary Josh Earnest expressed concern that the move by Mr. Trump “could have been an attempt to target civil servants, career federal government employees.”

“If we had to replace the entire Department of Energy every time a new president was elected, that is certainly going to undermine the ability of those at the most senior levels to implement a coherent and effective energy policy,” he said.

    If your energy policy is, "Don't use energy because Polar bears", then firing every employee is the right path. Then shut down the department before the next election so the libs can never hire those people back again.

  2. We're currently living beyond our means, so the biofuel and solar panel subsidies might need to be cut.

    If not them, then something else needs to be cut.

    1. & get rid of half the government for starters. I like to say, and I was one, that 10% of federal employees do 90% of the work.(Fish analogy)

  3. They all need to be fired, regardless. New brooms sweep clean, my mother used to say
