text: Actually Zinke is working in the interests of the American taxpayer (that would be anyone who works for a living). The federal government has 2.5 million employees! That's TOO MUCH and that's just the FEDERAL employees - not state and local government employees. All levels of government need to become more lean and productive with less money. The job shedding can be done by not replacing certain employees after they voluntarily resign via retirement or otherwise.
  
  Thank God we finally have a president who has the balls and assertiveness to trim down the federal government and make it work FOR THE PEOPLE - not the other way around.
