Trump Tells Team to Target 10% Spending, 20% Fed Workers Cuts

[danielpalos]

If he cuts 10% of real spending, good for him! If he cuts 5%, good to. If he cuts 1%, that is even a hurray! Why? Because the annual budget has a raise in spending of at least 3% a year, so any cut, is better than no cut at all. And even if he cuts it from some departments, anything is better than nothing, since getting the size and spending of government under control is paramount.

ending our drug war, saves more, sooner.

Maybe, but we can end our drug war once we close the border and drugs can't get in. We don't want to deport our cash to other countries for drugs, do we-)

keeping iffing.

This discussion is about ~20 billion dollars a year, while he is pushing for more military spending and a Trillion dollar stimulus spending and oh, more tax-cuts of course.

This is what Trump's policies look like (debt as a % of GDP) and this chump change doesn't add up to a serious difference.

You can say something else...but you just don't know any better and that is par for the course with people that voted for Trump unfortunately.

Now we get to hear from the left that millions of orphans will be dying of starvation in the streets.

Good to see him working on what got him the job.



Making good on a promise to slash government, President-elect Trump has asked his incoming team to pursue spending and staffing cuts.

Insiders said that the spending reductions in some departments could go as high as 10 percent and staff cuts to 20 percent, numbers that would rock Washington if he follows through.

At least two so-called “landing teams” in Cabinet agencies have relayed the call for cuts as part of their marching orders to shrink the flab in government.

The cuts would target discretionary spending, not mandated programs such as Medicare or Social Security, the sources said.

The spending reductions are expected to be used to help pay for Trump’s plan to boost the Pentagon’s budget, tax cuts and some pet projects, potentially including the anti-immigration wall on the nation’s southern border.

The teams also are looking at staffing cuts over four years through attrition, a hiring freeze and reorganization.

Nope, but let's hope you whiners don't go off the deep end when you find your government services go away or take a lot longer to process.

Yes I do, but I am never going to change your mind because you aren't here to discuss anything, you are here to gaslight, just like many of you leftists. (my opinion) So, I would rather talk to conservatives about how we are going to govern, then worry about you little people who have no power for at least 2 years. Cya!

Since 35% of Federal workers said they would quit if Trump was elected this should be easy.

You are wrong. I like to think of myself as someone that operates on facts and given credible evidence I do change my mind.

Problem with Trump is that him and his followers are not big fans of facts, they prefer a simple sales pitch.

Layoffs and cuts should be on top of that

 

[Iceweasel]

I hope he can do it. We need a serious reduction in the federal government. I also believe this is a primary reason the left wing leaders are trying so hard to de-legitimize Trump's presidency. This scares the shit out of them, 20% of federal workers is a lot of people who won't know what to do.

If it includes wages of Congress members, I am all for it..

well Trump and his cabinet are taking but one dollar. He's stepped up with his team.

 

[Weatherman2020]

We'll see I guess. Sounds like a good start, but we'll only know for sure after time has past and we can actually see less, or more, overall spending/debt and whether government grows or shrinks. I sure as hell am hoping for the latter, but again, we'll see.

Under which POTUS did we see the lowest annual rate of growth of federal spending since 1960?

Obama has the worst spending record on the books.

Stop saying that this is about 20% of federal works.

It is now what anyone claimed.

If you learn how to read you will find that 20% is a maximum (not average) for DISCRETIONARY PROGRAMS only and even at that, these will be non-millitary sort as Trump said he will INCREASE military spending.

Only 16% of federal budget is made up of such programs. So we are talking about around 0.8% of federal budget here.

2009 budget was 1.3 Trillion, submitted by Bush in September 2008 - to try to pin it on Obama is total horseshit, so is cutting off your graph at 2013.

well there are some in here that think in 100 days if he hasn't transformed the government, he's a failure. Wow. I don't even think that's long enough to cycle anything through one full cycle of record. But at 100 days he's a loser! And that isn't panicking by the way.
