Speaker 1: Tax season might be an identity thief's favorite time of year, folks.
Speaker 1: And that's because there's a chance that your personal information
Speaker 1: could be exposed. With all the tax paperwork going back
Speaker 1: and forth online, cybercriminal only needs your name, your data birth,

Speaker 1: Say have you heard about the Trump administration's hiring reforms? No,
Speaker 1: well this could be big, folks. President Trump plans to
Speaker 1: actually use a never tried provision of the nine Federal
Speaker 1: Employees Pay Comparability Act. It would bring government salaries in
Speaker 1: line with the private sector. That means they would be lowered. Now,
Speaker 1: to reduce the permanent bureaucracy, Trump wants to make it
Speaker 1: easier to hire more temporary employees and interns, making it
Speaker 1: less attractive to the lazy crowd. Now. The President also
Speaker 1: wants more flexibility to fire government workers. Last year, he
Speaker 1: signed an executive order to speed up the firing process.
Speaker 1: A federal court struck it down, but Trump is appealing. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: he's pushing to get rid of poor performers and those
Speaker 1: with behavioral problems. But it's very, very hard to do.
Speaker 1: It's been generations, my friends, since anybody seriously tried to
Speaker 1: reform the federal workforce. Congress has done it, and despite
Speaker 1: all their talk about reinventing government, the Clinton's never did.
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is doing it for the first time in
Speaker 1: our lifetimes. Real change is coming inside the massive federal bureaucracy,
Speaker 1: the administrative state that would benefit taxpayers, which means the
Speaker 1: drive buys are about to inundate you with sob stories
Speaker 1: about downsize government workers. Don't fall for it.
