[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As the Washington Post reported,

Across the government, the Trump administration is scrambling to rehire many federal employees dismissed under DOGE’s staff-slashing initiatives after wiping out entire offices, in some cases imperiling key services such as weather forecasting and the drug approval process.

So what is a thinly stretched government, asked to do too much with too little, going to do? It’s going to make more mistakes than it would if it had adequate resources. Mistakes will always happen, of course, and it may be impossible to prove that any given mistake was the result of reduced spending and staffing. But there will be more and bigger mistakes than would have happened if anti-government ideology hadn’t taken its toll.[/quote]

So they are re-hiring people after passing a bill that cut those funds in favor of tax cuts for billionaires. Where is the money to pay these rehired civil servants coming from? Or are they just going to push the debt that much more?[/quote]
The latter [/quote]
