Donald Trump to Achieve the Largest Cut in Federal Workforce in 80 Years

Breitbart ^ | 22 Aug 2025 | Lowell Cauffiel

Yup,

[cgbg]

Exactly.

These federal workplace cuts reduce federal bureaucracy but even more importantly cripple the left.

Almost every leftist activity depends on federal funds and regulations—directly or indirectly.

[TBP]

Not if the rest of the state outvotes them. Unfortunately, Winsome Sears is a lousy candidate and Spanberger is dishonest but slick.

[TBP]

Let’s see how many of these government “employees” can find work in the private sector.

"Would you like fries with that?"

[BobL]

While it’s good to cut the federal workforce, the damage they do FAR EXCEEDS the cost of their employment, probably by an order of magnitude.

Thankfully, Trump is well into dealing with that aspect too, with his reforms at EPA and killing off USAID, and in many, many, other areas.

[AZJeep]

yes, good start.
I hope the next year will be similar.
Trump still has 3.5 years to go!

With the incoming AI mayhem about to happen in job market, most will be looking for some kind of guaranteed income program...imho

[NonValueAdded]

I think what would reinforce the rightness of what PDJT is doing are some graphs. Show the workforce increase versus the increase of workload by agency or department. It should plainly show that the Biden administration was cooking the unemployment numbers by vast government hiring when the demand for services was not increasing.

[ealgeone]

yep.

[cgbg]

White collar folks are going to have to learn to pick up a wrench or a hammer—and do something useful for their neighbors and communities.

They can even make a good living that way.

[goodnesswins]

Yes...thankfully talked my grandson out iof college beyond AA...he and his dad are in construction...be awhile before they are affected, I think.

[trebb]

Thanks - I got my aggregate number from GROK but didn’t go into splitting it up...
