Wanting to selectively and carefully reduce the federal workforce is not a bad idea at all. But the way this White House is going about it is horrifically cruel, and we should never do it like this.

So no, I do not approve of the punitively massive layoffs going on right now, or the way DOGE slash-and-burned their way into computer systems, data sets and livelihoods.

100% I think most people can agree that government bureaucracy has gotten way to big. However, the way that this administration has gone about reducing it has been unnecessarily brutal and without any disregard to the human beings who's lives have been impacted. While it seems like an attempt to punish the Democrats, many Republicans (including Maga) have also been impacted. Also, it's not just the government employees - but all the adjacent businesses (contractors and restaurants that primarily service government employees) that have been impacted. It's also odd that this administration seems to have so much money to send to foreign nations and perpetuate wars - but it cannot seem to keep its own citizen employed or provide affordable healthcare. Meanwhile, we are being gaslit to believe that our economy is booming, but of course the reality if far different. This gaslighting may lead to not only resentment from the masses, but mental illness. [/quote]

I think most people who think the government "has gotten way too big" don't understand what the federal government does that makes their lives better.  I think most of us who understand all the things the government does for us do not think it's way too big.  Too inefficient, yes.  Too big, no.[/quote]
