What I'm afraid of is we'll lose more government workers who will flood the job market allowing employers to pay lower wages to new hires. For younger workers, ages 18 - 25, the alternative might be the military. The military might be enlarge to reduce unemployment in this age group and the problem is with a large military the greater it is for a president to use them for insignificant reasons.
