#1 'Don't fret' response to massive job losses in Virginia under Trump won't cut it for me

#2 It's a good start.
Now move the agencies out of DC and into America.

#3 At a certain point people’s severance pay will run out and things will get ugly. The Beltway Bandits can’t absorb this many folks simultaneously. The housing market bubble around DC is going to come back to earth like a meteor. Stand by for tear full human interest stories.

#5 Might be some bargains to be had in DC, Maryland and northern Virginia real estate.

#7 Stand by for tear full human interest stories.

Sob stories. The mainstream media is good at that sort of thing. You should see the local TV stations in LA and San Diego crying about illegal aliens getting deported. It's kinda funny really.

#8 A reduction of 22,000 in the DC area alone.

Appears to be no 'negative' impact to the economy or services. What am I missing ?

#9 ^ The SD Union Tribune had a full-time tear jerker writer on Illegals: Kate Morrissey. Glad she's gone

#10 Take anything written by John Maynard Keynes and throw it right in the trash.

#11 Maybe this is why they're so concerned about restrictions on Medicaid fraud...
