“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.
“ It’s not the number of workers - it’s what they do.”
That is exactly what I wrote. Was I not clear?
Pay a $250k fed headcount and you get a billion dollar drag on the economy.
