Right, because wildland fire fighters were exempt from the illegal lay offs.

Excellent!

Elon Musk's DOGE puts government agencies in Spokane Valley, Lapwai, Pomeroy on notice for building lease terminations

Several federal agencies in Washington and Idaho are on notice that their office leases in local buildings will be terminated as the Trump administration searches for ways to cut costs.

It sucks that Govt. workers are facing layoffs, when i was young, I faced it all the time, cant imagine what i would do at my age now.....that said, something has to be done about the spending & debt or else the house of cards will collapse & it will make the 29' depression look like a cake walk.
This is what happens when the people start believing that Big Govt exists to take care of the people instead of people taking care of themselves.

If Trump/R's had any intention of actually cutting the deficit, your assertion would have some merit but they don't. They're canning employees to fund a tax cut and that's it, the deficit will continue climbing and you won't hear a peep from them until there's another democrat in the White House. Don't take my word for it, just look at the R's budget proposal.

They gotta start somewhere.....
What is the alternative?
Shall we just keep digging a deeper hole till we break thru to china?



That said, the administration could take a "kinder/gentler" approach when it comes to letting people go.

Maybe the "somewhere" to start should actually be somewhere with enough cost to actually make a difference. If they fired literally every federal worker, there would still be an annual deficit of $1.5 Trillion. Take that in for a second. Maybe start with bloated contracts instead of the people who administer the contracts and make sure they aren't taking advantage of the client (us).

And the tax cut they have planned will greatly INCREASE the national debt. Far more than the tiny amount saved so far...some of which will cost us in the end too.
