That’s it?
How many people work for the EPA? This is simply an umbrella agency. Totally unnecessary.
Needs to be 2,400,000 jobs.
It’s a start...double the pace.
That’s not the entire story.
There may be about 2.5 million federal employees, but there are another 6.5 million contractors working in federal positions.
Actually it is kind of humorous to think of a gubmint teat-sucker moving into a private sector job and discovering that your new boss wants you on the job at 8am and expects to see your nose to the grindstone for 4 hours, then lunch, then another full 4 hours at the grindstone again. No political activity, no sleeping, no doing anything that is not job related.
Some will adjust ... most won’t and will try to join or form a union so they can get some sleep on the job.
Keep cutting until home prices drop in the DC area...and Northern Virginia turns RED again!
The current US population is 327,829,000.

US population 1939 (Wikipedia) 147,500,800 and 2018 327, 830,000 (US census).
So, basically the Fed workers have tripled and the US population has a little bit more than doubled. Even after the New Deal.
The figure looks like natural attrition. Which appears these employees are going off to get their fat pensions and are not being replaced. Trump is telling the Department Managers..... manage.
