Damn, I hadn't even thought of that, but you're right. This has a net effect of reducing the bloat in government, so I'm a bit irked they're advertising the job fair so much. Starve the beast from the feet up, ya?
When I was in college, money was an afterthought. Women, experiences, and entertainment were my focal points. I don't doubt all 3 are plentiful in DC.
I'm not sure it reduces the "bloat". I think it just shifts more responsibility on to others, creating an even more toxic environment and increasing turnover. High turnover increases costs.
So it may be having the opposite affect that what you think.

Trump can't even find enough people to fill important cabinet positions.

No me. Pay is bad, the hours are worse and there are far too many other opportunities to make your fortune elsewhere.

Check the links I posted above and see that that absolutely is a growing problem which has become more serious with the past few presidencies. It's not a partisan issue, but it doesn't seem like anyone knows exactly why it's become the norm.

Hell, I will say the Right is a bit worse. Because you could even become the focus of unfounded and inappropriate conspiracy theories.

You have to admit, the Right is prone to accusing people of some wild stuff, just because of politics.

I see as much of it from the left. It really doesn't get much more egregious than trying to tie immigration policy enforcement to Hitler, a perfectly normal dad/daughter photo of him with his Ivanka to incest, a simple election upset to collusion with Russia, The Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy™, voter rigging to make sure Hillary beat Sanders, etc. I get it, the birther thing was a ripper, but "Bush did 911" points in it's direction while laughing.
