“Simply put, government would be smaller and less involved in regulating life in America, with private companies and states playing a much bigger role.”

OH how I DO LOVE the sound of THAT!

The cuts Trump plans to propose this week are also expected to lead to layoffs among federal workers, changes that would be felt sharply in the Washington area. According to an economic analysis by Mark Zandi, chief economist for Moody’s Analytics, the reductions outlined so far by Trump’s advisers would reduce employment in the region by 1.8 percent and personal income by 3.5 percent, and lower home prices by 1.9 percent.

“These are not the kind of cuts that you can accommodate by tightening the belt one notch, by shaving a little bit off of a program, or by downsizing a few staff here or there,” said Robert Reischauer, a former director of the Congressional Budget Office. “These are cuts that would require a wholesale triage of a vast array of federal activities.”

LOL < Why these numbers are staggering! Just STAGGERING, I tell ya...

"President Trump’s budget proposal this week would shake the federal government to its core if enacted, culling back numerous programs and expediting a historic contraction of the federal workforce", the Democrats and Media (but I repeat myself) shrieked.

You see once again how the WaPo doesn't even make an attempt to place a distinction between partisan Democrat talking points, and their own editorial bias. They are one and the same. There's no need to pretend otherwise...

I’m so glad I retired when I did. Out before the exodus.

For two or three years immediately prior to 9/11 we had a RIF hanging over our heads. That was no fun.
