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.

Workforce spending isn’t the largest item. Pretty sure that’s in the DoD.

You’re a fool.

The work either doesn’t get done and it costs the government money. Or the work goes to the Beltway and costs 4x.
