“Not just federal.
State and local, too”
There are over 22 million State, Federal and local employees in the USA and that is two year old data.
I’m seeing a issue.

When hyperinflation begins, all those worthless savings accounts are going to hopefully drive home the fact that our out of control government is the root of the problem.
If there were only a way to actually force Americans to pay close attention to what our POS government is up to.

Tough choices mean EVERYONE has skin in the game, EVERYONE feels pain, EVERYONE contributes and/or sacrfices something.
The only way this will work is if we are all in this together, from the poor to the uber rich.

Trump MUST do what Argentine president Javier Milei has done. Take a chainsaw to the bloated Administrative State and fire hundreds of thousands of them. Force them into the private sector to compete with illegal aliens for low paying jobs. Bingo...And that's just a start...

And that’s bad ... when interest on the debt gets into Medicare/Social-Security territory, the situation is unsustainable.
