This is FAR BIGGER than just reduced headcount. These people are parasite c meddling busybodies that produce nothing but economy-strangling regs and roadblocks There a big GDP NEGATIVE multiplier effect for these people. I’d wager that every headcount reduction increases GDP by $1 billion.
“I’d wager that every headcount reduction increases GDP by $1 billion.”
You’re not thinking about this the right way. It’s not the number of workers - it’s what they do.
Increase ICE by 500% and things will get better faster. More DOJ lawyers to root out DEI and enforce equal protection for YT will make more money than it costs.
Reminds me of the "outrage" when Federal "workers" received an email requesting the employee to state a few of the things (work) they actually did last week.
The outrage told us everything we needed to know. "How dare you" demand I not just work, but do something worthwhile.
