One major fallacy in the article is the argument that federal wages are just a small part of the budget.
While technically correct it is highly misleading.
Federal employees generate tons of rules and regulations that cripple private sector productivity.
In addition they administer all the grants and contracts to institutions that are leftist power centers and work twenty four/seven to take away our liberties.
Reducing federal employees crushes DEI, LGBT, “climate change” garbage etc etc etc.
This is about power.
When we cut federal employees we get more power and the left gets less.
A good, but temporary reprieve. Another President can add them back in.
Until Congress acts to pass legislation doing away with organizations and agencies, it’s still a threat.
You know - the Congress that was adjourned until next week and that can’t pass spending bills using Regular Order.
Thousands of things are a small part of the overall budget. That means we can’t do anything about anything. No matter how small if things are not needed, get rid of them.
That’s exactly why they are so angry.
