Wrong for so many reasons.

Stop with the propaganda fool.

By the way Clinton was the only President in recent years to have a balanced budget.

Your boy has added $3 Trillion to the National Debt in a year while enriching himself and his kids.
Don Jr alone has made billions off of. taxpayers.

Screw you dummy

Our sub agency only lost around 15 percent, yet the workload feels truly horrible for those of us remaining. I cannot imagine what it is like in places with bigger losses.

I'd be shocked if there was. At least one broadly available.

Some of the data is definitely wrong. I worked at HUD as an attorney and there weren’t 2,960 people working in the Office of General Counsel as they claim. It was more like 600 at the beginning of the Trump administration. I understand that about 40% of HUD OGC people quit by the end of the second round.

A lot of those were early retirements, buyouts and resignations.

That can lead to losing the best and most experienced people, leaving the ones without experience or other options.

+1. I am currently detailed to my former agency and it is a shell of its former self. Not because of the lower headcount, but because the best people are mostly gone.

I understand why, but it's unfortunate that the table has rows with such different populations. Result is it masks the impacts at the larger sub-agencies.

Also, depending on the agency, more or less work of variable complexity is done through grants or contractors. There's correlation between Federal and grantee/contractor impacts but the overall impact to the public may vary quite a bit from what the table implies.

Our DoD/NAVSEA group is gearing up to work in BBG(X) and FF(X) for the new Golden Fleet. Should keep us busy for the next three years until the next administration cuts it.

The worst thing that Musk and Trump did, aside from giving the country and world to Russia, is discrediting the idea of increasing the efficiency of the federal government.

They made a bipartisan, commonsense idea toxic by being such idiotic, hateful creeps.

You got to love how Musk played "green" credentials to the woke to fund his enterprises and enrich himself! He could not have made it without you guys!
