Isn’t it crazy that people are so upset about federal employees losing their jobs because of downsizing? The government has needed to be downsized for quite some time, and we finally have a president exercising his powers to do just that. Every business at some time will go through an audit to find out where cuts need to be made. While no one likes to be laid off or fired, it happens. It’s not the end of the road.
The president does have authority over the executive branch of government. Too many employees seemed to think they didn’t have to give an account for the money they were spending, and now they have found out it’s time to face the music.
Elon Musk is serving at the pleasure of the president to audit the various departments to find ways to cut waste. That is a good thing. Every reasonable person lives on a budget. It’s time government workers learn to tighten their belts instead of just telling the taxpayers to tighten theirs.
