If you celebrate having completely innocent Americans stripped of their livelihoods and careers because the boss hates the government you’re not a patriot, you’re an asshole.

Try calling the government for just about anything. The IRS is especially woefully understaffed. VA, Medicare. All lacking staff. Two weeks ago, I set a Social Security telephone appt. Earliest was April 1.
Reducing the workforce by 1/4th would reduce the deficit by 1% according to https://electoralvote.com. I'm sure the proposed tax cut will cost much more.
It won’t just be Federal workers. Contracts are being cancelled. Those of us who are contractors to the government are also at risk. I may be unemployed in a month. I’m 59 and have been with my employer for almost 25 years. I don’t even know how to job hunt anymore. I’m very nervous.
Just wait until these assholes need the services that those federal workers used to provide. They will deserve whatever pain and suffering that this MAGA gang mentality drops on their doorsteps and I won't have one ounce of sympathy for them.
This has all the earmarks of both high inflation and a recession. When things are uncertain, people and business start to scrutinize their budgets more closely. When that happens, “risky” investments become luxuries we cannot afford.
Perhaps the goal is to manufacture economic conditions that will force the Fed to cut interest rates massively so that the federal debt can be refinanced.
I would say there are enough civil servants to sway an election. I would be real interested in how many voted for him. I've looked, but nothing has jumped out at me. But yeah, we are fixing to have a recession or a depression. We are sitting on a perfect storm. Just liquidated my stock today.

And they did it to themselves. 40 years of demonizing education and Rush Limbaugh has had a horrendous effect on the minds of many Americans.
Shame them, vote them out, and get them out of power!
Now they're calling it "Masculine Maximizing".
I'll stick with Magasshole.
