Nov 18, 2024, 01:30 PM

President-elect Donald Trump is set to implement significant changes to the federal workforce, including the establishment of a new Department of Government Efficiency aimed at reducing wasteful expenditures. This initiative has been welcomed by some taxpayers who have expressed concern over the allocation of public funds to various projects. Trump's plans include the ability to dismiss a large number of career federal employees, replacing them with political appointees, which aligns with his demand for loyalty within the government. Federal workers are reportedly bracing for this overhaul, which is anticipated to be one of the largest cuts to government bureaucracy in history.
