The average salary of a federal government employee is $112,000.
Trump has cut 348,000 federal government employees.

Total savings: $ 38,976,000,000
This is what I voted for!


quote:

The Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS) has released the April jobs report showing 115,000 jobs gained [DATA HERE]. Inside the numbers, federal government employment continued to decline in April (-9,000). Since reaching a peak in October 2024, federal government employment is down by 348,000, or 11.5 percent since the 2024 election.

Good start. Now codify the cuts and get that number up to 50%

Oh I see. You said it therefore we should be in Iran and it has truly been a success. We have been helped so much here in the USA I can barely put it into words.

3-4 times you voted for Trump and he failed you like this. Maybe next time vote for Kamala like you really did anyways.

The woke right wants to censor those who disagree and have the government’s balls squarely in their mouths.

I'm all about free thought and questioning federal and state authority while supporting autonomy.

Sounds like the cult is the woke right to me

It's always a false dichotomy with smooth brains. I would ALWAYS vote for Trump over left retards.

That doesn't make me like what Trump is doing now. Put your big boy pants on and think like a man.

Good start. Now finish the job at the Dept. of Education. There's another 2200 payroll leaks.

Not supporting fighting wars for Israel doesn’t make us leftists.

That's salary only - now add 50%+ for the benefits and administrative costs - closer to $60B in savings.

Hasn’t saved any tax payer any money.

I voted for Trump 3 times and am as big of a fan of his as anyone but I’m tired of all this stuff not actually changing anything that matters in anyone’s day to day

A damn shame we have such a bloated Federal budget that $38.9 billion is just couch change.
Totally agree with the poster down the thread-the entire Dept. of Education needs to be dismantled and the EPA seriously downsized. and hell, that's still just couch change.
