FIRST ON FOX: The Trump administration will direct heads of agencies across the federal government to prepare to initiate "large-scale reductions in force" and develop reorganization plans by mid-March, Fox News Digital has learned.
Fox News Digital exclusively obtained the memo that will be sent Wednesday to agency heads by Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Russell Vought and acting Director of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Charles Ezell. The memo directs them to prepare to eliminate roles and submit plans for reorganization by March 13.
The memo states, however, that government positions "necessary to meet law enforcement, border security, national security, immigration enforcement, or public safety responsibilities" are exempt from the order, as well as officials nominated and appointed to positions requiring presidential appointment or Senate confirmation, officials in the Executive Office of the President and U.S. Postal Service workers.
The memo is titled "guidance on agency RIF and reorganization plans requested by implementing the president’s ‘Department of Government Efficiency’ workforce optimization initiative."
"The federal government is costly, inefficient, and deeply in debt," the memo states. "At the same time, it is not producing results for the American public."
"Instead, tax dollars are being siphoned off to fund unproductive and unnecessary programs that benefit radical interest groups while hurting hard-working American citizens," it continued. "The American people registered their verdict on the bloated, corrupt federal bureaucracy on November 5, 2024 by voting for President Trump and his promises to sweepingly reform the federal government."

A large scale reduction of farce.
This is long over do.
If you want to reduce inflation you can:
1. Raise interest rates over the inflation rate
2. Greatly reduce the amount of government spending
So if people are complaining about high interest rates and government cuts then they should be content with high inflation.
I still don’t understand that if you pull funding from scams ($ not needed), reduce parasitic workforce ($ not needed), reduce the sugardaddy effect for overseas ($ not needed), etc, why does Trump still demand the same money at a substantial deficit?
Trust the plan, 4D Chess, etc?
Most will call me stupid names but maybe an adult can explain this?
The money will be redirected to other requirements. It could even be used to buy back federal bonds reducing the debt.
Well done
Beware the IDES of March
.
This sort of thing always hits a sizeable fraction of people who are good workers in the wrong place at the wrong time.
We need a prospering economy that will create places for them to go.
Maybe less government and lower taxes will be conditions for those places to appear. Those of us on the outside of government should do what we can to make that happen.
This is fantastic. I hope this does not slow the worst of the waste, which is all the domestic pork and fake foreign aid.
I see your question as legitimate and I am not calling you any names.
There have not yet been any "savings". There has been a postponement of expenses, but that money is not yet free to pay for other activities. And here we are with the "debt ceiling" coming up in March.
We will not see any reduced spending for about six to nine months after the so-called spending cuts. And that will require Congressional action to change some laws. Good luck with that! We are going to need it.
In the meantime, we will still be running deficits, and we will still have inflation as the true method of financing them.
It will take over a year for some kind of economic recovery to show up. That is dangerously close to the mid-term elections. If things do not turn around by then, the Democrats could get another chance to control the House or the Senate. If that happens, things will never turn around again.
Our deficit could be instantly converted to a modest surplus by enforcing the existing consumer protection laws and antitrust laws against the Heathcare and Health Insurance industries. An 80% reduction in healthcare costs is possible and would make Medicare and Medicaid budgets into non-problems. But corporations own too many Congressmen. They still can stop effective action against their extortion system. That could change with some recent executive orders, but it will take indictments and prosecutions to make real changes
That is what we have yet to see. It needs to happen in one of the coming waves of actions.
If the Park Rangers try to plug Old Faithful, I’m gonna drive up there and kick some ass.
I appreciate it, thanks for taking the time.
Ultimately, nothing will never change and your great-grandkids are screwed if all of this deficit (100 trillion in the hole) is actually real.
To me it seems as simple as:
Monthly household budget - $2,000
All real expenses (mortgage, food, utilities, etc) = $1,600
So I need $1,600? Cut expenses by $400
Nope, actually need $100,000 BUT we will get that down to $99,000 in the future. It’s complicated but we have some brilliant folks on it.
Agencies across the federal government to prepare to initiate “large-scale reductions in force”.
Recall when Biden bragged about all the jobs he created BS like everything else he bragged about.
His motto: Stick it to the public to sound good.
