Disagree, there are a lot of good middle class people that have invested their life serving their country hurt by this. My niece was laid off from IRS, she did nothing but graduate and do her job. She is 32 with 3 kids married to a Pastor. Not much grift there. Know several engineers with USDOT forced to resign. These are normal people. Not high level grifters making a killing or not working. Those engineers fought to make cars safer. That was their big crime. So, this chainsaw act is hurting normal people.
Just a little fact, it is not just new hires that have a probationary period. Any promotion required 6 month probationary period. We are losing alot of capabilities. But that is good, right. Elon says so.
Not to sound harsh or indifferent... but welcome to the real world.
I have been laid off or fired 3 or 4 times in my life.
It sucks but we live in a capitalist society. And government employees should be treated just like us poor sacks in the private sector.
I feel for you niece with the three kids though... this is why family is important. I hope you are able to help her out if you can.

Just so we're clear, the "act" is something nearly every business goes through.
Leaders frequently have to cut with a broad swath.
Anyone of us could be impacted directly or indirectly by cuts elsewhere. I'm sorry for the people involved, but it doesn't make it evil or wrong.
We are spending more than we take in, you can't micro-cut and hope to make a difference. Our government spending needs to be restructured and prioritized. That sucks for many, doesn't change that we need to do it.
And our benevolent government has done it to the private sector numerous times via legislation, acts and deals.

Inflation will now be on the rise. Unemployment is on the rise too. Is there a recession on the horizon?
It was going to happen sooner or later.
We are a bankrupt country and on track for our interest on debt to double GDP a decade from now... too many years of boomers kicking the can down the road.
This all should have been dealt with in 2008.
Trump is trying to raise additional funds from tariffs to off-set tax cuts.
This is not Trump's fault.
It is partly Trump's fault...
8.4 Trillion is Trump's fault.
$3.6 trillion came from COVID relief laws & EOs$2.5 trillion from tax cut laws,and$2.3 trillion from spending increases
This cut, cut, cut only came about after Jan 6th and Biden lawsuits. DOGE is a great way to go after your enemies and have people cheer you.
https://www.crfb.org/blogs/how-much-did-president-trump-add-debt
Renewing the tax cuts needs to happen.
We are already way overtaxed and our society needs to stop penalizing the productive members of society who are keeping things running and should start squeezing the welfare class who live off free housing, food stamps, and Medicaid.
The spending increases came during Biden's Presidency. Prior to Biden the Federal government was spending around $3-4 trillion a year... during Biden is went up to $5-6 trillion, a 50% increase.
I agree with you on COVID as I already mentioned in my previous post.
This is why I always debate you on all these global wars... America is broke and cant afford them!
I do agree with you if we are going to have this tariff policy and cozy up to Russia and China. To help on military side only to stab on trade makes no sense. Bring it home and protect our borders, we are going to need it. Trump has alienated most of our allies.
Has to be done.
We need to get our own house in order and not be worrying about the welfare of countries like Ukraine while ours is falling apart.
"allies"
I know they're our allies but they only care about looking out for themselves and don't want to look out for us.
America can transform its communities and quality of life if it can resist the globalists complete sell out and control.
And no that doesn't mean isolationist or avoiding global trade.
But will they avoid us and isolate us? It is a two way street. Hubris is a *****

EatMoreSalmon said:The "debt is bigger because of tax cuts" blabber needs to just stop. Income tax revenues were up every year of Trump's first term with the tax cuts enacted. That means there must have been more economic activity during those cuts (maybe even *gasp* because of those cuts) that made up the difference in rates. Likewise, raising rates is a temporary increase in revue as business and consumer activity react to having less to spend on driving the economy.

Biden managed to add $8.4 trillion without a global pandemic
Don't forget the 10+ million illegals the fascists put in luxury hotels on the public dime.
"until the fiscal year 2023, when lower income tax collections driven by Trump's tax cuts pushed overall revenue lower."
The complaint that revenue was suddenly lower in 2023 due to a tax cut from 2017 is a bit asinine. Had tax rates been higher, economic activity would have slowed even more during the recession/not-a-recession of Biden's term. Revenues would more likely been about the same if not lower while the citizens would have been that much poorer.
