Its what I’d call “a good start”.
Libs who believe everyone should have a no-work federal job will be wailing.
But spending is up.
Cut the fat, defund the fed.
Why pay for something that you don’t kneed.
Many of the cut employees were on the payroll until the end of the fiscal year (September 30).
We should start seeing budget impacts when this quarter’s numbers come in....
I was thinking about the number of Federal Police since 19 bad dudes killed 3000 Americans on 9/11.
The Federal Police Force includes:
FBI, TSA, ICE, CBP, ATF, DEA and others. That police force is around 250,000.
So why have we imported hundreds of thousands of criminals in the past 25 years?
I did not research the number of Federal Police Force members in 2000, but I would guess it would be around 100,000.
As usual government creates problems and then hires a boatload of people to manage the problem.
Good but nowhere near enough. They need to hire more ICE agents and slash government bureaucracies by several hundred thousand more in 2026.
To many presidents have hired people for federal employment that weren’t needed but it made their numbers look good Trump fixed that.
Democrats hit hardest
I think that included terminating many unfilled positions.
“President Trump posts that federal employment has fallen off a CLIFF under his 2nd term”
CNN fact checker:
There are no known incidents of any federal employees falling off of cliffs during President Trump’s 2nd term.
We rate the President’s claim as FALSE.
Wages and benefits are at least 3 billion a week times 52 weeks is 150 billion, or more. I figured that at $40. per hour for wages and benefits, which we all know is way under actual figures.
That’s a lot of unemployed democrats. Everyone knows those rats can never find employment in the private sector. Schadenfreude!
Trump needs to double those numbers of unemployed federal workers by the end of 2026 if he want to impress me politically. 250k isn’t nearly enough, we need close to 1 million gone.
I believe the intention was to get rid of the jobs that were not needed. I doubt that I have full understanding of all this, but I rather believe the president knows more about it in full than I do.
THIS is what I voted for.
He needs a bigger cliff to save America.
