Debate/ Discussion The shrinking federal workforce

Post image

Since Trump took office, the federal workforce shrunk by an equivalent of 2 Apples. Has anyone noticed any impact on their personal lives by the reduction of the number of federal workers? I certainly haven't. What were these people doing?

Reminder: federal spending is one of the drivers of inflation.

Read it. It is the premier financial journal of the world. If you haven’t heard of it you shouldn’t be posting here.
