The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is also taking major steps, planning to cut 80,000 jobs.

Many Freepers like me receive a disability check from the VA every month. Right now I'm dealing with two Agent Orange cancers (prostate and bladder) and I'm 100% disabled. A reduction in force of 80,000 employees will certainly cause some pain. Let's hope they figure it all out quickly without hurting our vets.

Featherbedding is the practice of hiring more workers than are needed to perform a given job, or to adopt work procedures which appear pointless,

“...aiming to revert to leaner, 2019-level staffing. This bold move is meant to improve healthcare services for veterans while reducing wasteful spending.”

As a (still relatively healthy) Vet, I’m all for this, as long as they don’t slash too deeply for those that need mental health services.

Lack of mental health services for Veterans is a MAIN CAUSE of homelessness and crazy people living on the streets. Homeless female Veterans (sometimes with children in tow) are growing in numbers. :(

I’d better send a note to Trump and his new VA Appointee, Doug Collins. ;)

President Trump is making waves with a decisive (move to slash bloated government) bureaucracy.

The guilty the first to complain again.

So they hired 80,000 people since 2019?!

That just 25% of the number of jobs Bill Clinton cut.

Let the tantrums and whining begin! If Joe Pedo hadn’t hired so many lefties in his final months in the White House to spy on the Trump administration, there wouldn’t be so many getting laid off.

I have long thought that veterans might be better served if they were given a VA card and could seek their care locally. The VA hospitals could then specimen in areas like limb replacement and PTSD treatment.

If NOAA would stick to large area forecasting like for hurricanes and major storms and end their climate change agenda they wouldn’t need a huge staff.

100,000 is still using a nail clipper where a tractor lawn mower would be more appropriate. That is around 5%. Now we need to be id of more whole departments and agencies than just USAID and DOEducation. We should not have more than 4 cabinet level departments and only one or two sub agencies per. And all of the programs administered by the disposed of outfits need to be also discarded and not “folded in” to the remaining departments.
