Lets do some dummy math:

2 milion federal employees, lets say half of them has email and each of them spends 1 minute on this.

It costs then 1 milion man-minutes, thats 694 man-days or almost 2 man-years. So this will cost at least 60k dolars, presuming 30k a year is a minimum salary. It isn't.

Money well spent ! Lets start THE cost cutting :)

Oh, I forgot this is gov, so it will costs at least 10 times more then what I'm counting. And I was very optimistic, employee forced to do unnecessary things will easily spend half a day on this.

Oh but you forgot all the future cost savings of new employees not having to spend time entering them!
