Marjorie Taylor Greene: Federal workers ‘don’t deserve’ their paychecks
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
“Those are not real jobs producing federal revenue, by the way. They’re consuming taxpayer dollars. Those jobs are paid for by the American tax people, who work real jobs, earn real income, pay federal taxes and then pay these federal employees,” Greene said during the hearing.
“Federal employees do not deserve their jobs. Federal employees do not deserve their paychecks. And these are jobs that can be fired at will.”
Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-Texas) criticized Greene for casting aside the careers of her own constituents, noting the number of federal workers in Greene’s district.
“Marjorie Taylor Greene believes 6,008 of her constituents are unworthy of a job or a paycheck because they work for the federal government,” Escobar wrote Tuesday in a post on the social platform X. “To quote her favorite person: SAD!”
Greene was responding to comments from Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-Ill.) urging the federal government not to privatize the U.S. Postal Service.
“These reports are beyond troubling, and I respectfully request that you have a hearing again on the USPS,” he told the committee. “No private-sector entity provides universal service across the nation, and without these letter carriers and others, more than 51.5 million households and businesses especially in rural communities would have no guaranteed delivery.”
Krishnamoorthi earlier noted eliminating the Postal Service could throw “trillions of dollars of e-commerce transactions into turmoil.”
Greene has staunch advocated layoffs of government workers by the Department of Government Efficiency led by Elon Musk.

Um Margie, this might be 'fake' news to you but you are a Federal employee ... walk the walk darlin'!
That was my first thought as well.
(Perhaps members of Congress should not get paid? We should contact Musk with that recommendation!)
Exactly my thought.
I know which federal paycheck we can stop first.
I had thought America was heading into a dystopian future. Now I'm beginning to think it's arrived.
Ironic when the overhead criticizes the other non productive overhead.
Cant Make This Shit Up.
The federal government is not specifically designed to produce revenue
I hope those federal employees in her district take note of this and send her back to the gym November 2026
The gym in her garage?
LOL! I thought she had an affair with a guy she met at the gym she works out at. And doesn't she own a gym?
Let me explain this simply. The Gross Agricultural Production of the United States of America exceeds $1,500,000,000,000 annually, or one and a half trillion dollars! This fantastical figure is fairly well guaranteed year in and year out by the vigilance and hard work done by the USDA's 100,000 vital employees, who typically work at county field offices or research farms across America...
That is one and a half billion dollar return on each USDA employee!
The work they do is vital, yet without government would be undone
I do not expect that the pimple faced DOGE Boys understand the vital need for USDA Livestock Specialists, Agronomists, Soil Scientists and Field Entomologists, but believe it or not, firing those government employees is very much shitting MAGA's own nest!

"According to data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis, agriculture, food, and related industries contributed roughly $1.537 trillion to U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) in 2023, a 5.5-percent share. The output of America's farms contributed $222.3 billion of this sum—about 0.8 percent of U.S. GDP. The overall contribution of agriculture to GDP is larger than 0.8 percent because sectors related to agriculture rely on agricultural inputs to contribute added value to the economy. Sectors related to agriculture include food and beverage manufacturing; food and beverage stores; food services and eating/drinking places; textiles, apparel, and leather products; and forestry and fishing".

When they have to scramble for bread like everyone else....
Or MF"Elon and Felon both think that bread comes from the grocery store? I know people who think meat comes from the grocery store and have no idea about what farms are
What makes you think that people with those credentials are going to be hit? I doubt that the majority of "non-essential" employees are classified as such.
What makes you think Musk believes any federal employee is vital?
Because a slew of my friends and family work for the USDA and mass layoffs are taking place, especially younger staff. These are not high paying jobs. These are people drawing blood at feed lots or counting bug eggs in soil samples DOGE think unnecessary!
What makes you think anyone at DOGE is looking at credentials?
How many employees that DOGE has terminated needed to be immediately rehired? Any number above zero shows that they do not care what the employees are doing.
What do they do with the numbers? Are there actually any actions taken?
So 30% of federal workers that are American military veterans don't deserve jobs serving America once again?
Did she ever ask to visit any department for a day or a week as observer so she could see their work first hand?
For that matter did Musk bother to ask to visit any department and review the work environment in real time?
I'm really enjoying watching the trump supporting veterans and federal workers whine about losing their gov't jobs ... suckers!
Wait, is this her excuse for accomplishing nothing in congress?
Is she really someone you want accomplishing things in congress?
No. Emphatically NO.
Hey, Marjorie was just copying Cruz:
bfd, the empty skulled maga tramp from my state, lauren blowbert, is collecting DNA samples from kid suck ... er, rock ...
Well... at least she looks better than he does in a swimsuit. (admittedly a low bar).
Frankly, I'd love for her to stay in Mexico for the rest of her term, while the rest of us re-evaluate whether or not the people of Georgia should be allowed to continue to vote if they're going to fuck it up this badly.
Another Georgia congressman, Hank Thompson...
A simple swab of her chin should do the trick.
I'm betting it ain't human
She is awe-inspiring. The total lack of self-awareness is astonishing.
Does she not have staff around her who know she’s going to say shit like this? So they can be Iike, “Marj, honey, don’t say that. You’re a federal employee. That won’t play well.”
How did this silly person get reelected?
If you want to find some waste in government, you need look no further. I wonder what five things she could say she did last week.
It certainly doesn't speak too well of the voters in her district.
The irony is overwhelming, you are a government employee/federal employee MTG. Hold on tight it is going to be a rough ride for you.
See the video on "X" from 2023 of her bitchin about being a government employee. One could get the impression someone is FORCING her to run for office! Oh and she cries about making more in the civilian world. . .well, DUH! It's called public service for a reason, "Pillow without a tag lady!" This is one 'invalid' politician. Her state should hang its collective head in shame. Oh, but that is right, they're SHAMELESS!
like she's never said that to anyone in the gym before ...
This is pathetic. This woman is an embarrassment. Otherwise, her comment is not worthy of much in the way of discussion. In a gaggle of pillows. . .she is the dumb pillow without a tag !
Goes for your useless ass too right? Seriosuly, couldn't even sell that in Tajuana.
