I'm having a tough time believing that one. A lot of departments/agencies we have today didn't even exist in 1960.

The data is there. Look it up.

Exactly. You didn’t hear about much then. The MSM is doing what they do again.

Actually it will help trim the deficit


I get tired of this argument that such and such is only 1-2% of the budget and won’t make a big dent so we shouldn’t cut it.

If you cut waste, fraud, and useless workers in every program and agency, all those small percentages add up to a big percentage

On a side note, my wife retired after our first baby, I think we were making 30K between us, if that much, I was still in school. She stayed home for six weeks after the birth of our first daughter until her leave was up, spent one day back at work, came home crying and told me she was not going back to work.

She retired that day, I had to step up. That was 30 years and 3 more kids ago. It's amazing how people can be motivated.


And everyone clapped. What a special little good boy AUJACK is.

Don't hurt yourself patting yourself on the back so hard lmao.

Ways to add 10s of thousands of regulations (read laws) that ruin productivity and economic gains for the country.


The front line workers at these agencies that you are so happy got fired had nothing to do with these, moron.

We need regulations because morons like you will cut corners and get people killed or maimed to save a buck.

You sound like someone who has never been motivated to anything. Don't be jealous. It's a bad look

It is not the responsibility of the American taxpayer to offer a job/income to every other citizen. Anyone that believes this can f right off.

POTUS…..you normally offer thought out responses, but this is dumb. Do me a favor; go read up on the original responsibilities of the federal government. IF we are able to return to something close to those responsibilities, then the people let go will not be “needed” back. They will have to do what the vast majority of people do….go get a job and be a net positive for that company.

With advancements in technology and business operations in general, our government workforce in 2025 should be drastically less than it was in 1960. I’m glad this administration sees this.

Except for vaccines right? When Joe Biden fired people for not jabbing themselves with a clot shot.

None of you fricks have a leg to stand on after the last four years.

A household that continues to spend more than it takes in eventually goes bankrupt, so will the government. This is a start to a good future for the whole country. That's all. Gotta do it.

Yes, we know, groomer. You and your ilk HATE to be accountable for anything. You all should just be handed money just because.

The projection here from you is also hilarious.

Keep melting. I love this so much.

Did it need to be that size in 1960? There wasn't an issue then.

Population has doubled since then and government size is still relatively the same.
