NEED TO KNOW
Donald Trump bragged about eliminating hundreds of thousands of federal jobs in a Dec. 26 Truth Social post
The White House’s Rapid Response team said job positions within the U.S. government are at the lowest level since 2014, with 271,000 roles abolished
According to the latest data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the unemployment rate in the United States in November is at 4.6%, with 7.8 million people unemployed
This is what happens with decades of brainrot Ronnie Raygunism instructing dipshit cons that government jobs are not “real” jobs. I’m sure lots of conservatives cheer for this.
Even if they or their family work in government (trust me, I’ve seen this kind of thing - committed Libertarians/Objectivists working for the Post Office or as public school teachers. I wish I was kidding).
We are about to see why libertarianism never worked.
Housecats that hate their owners.
Seeing how it didnt work with Ayan Rand you’d think ppl would abandon it completely
The fact that someone can write such clunky sci-fi that fails in every way and yet still influences so many dumbasses is really an indictment on humans, it seems.
There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."
What I really want conservatives to contend with is the fact that cutting the size of the federal workforce this way has done LITERALLY NONE of the things they always insist shrinking the government will accomplish.
- It has not reduced prices. In fact, those are way up.
- It has not reduced taxes on the middle and lower classes. In fact, those are up too (while taxes on the ultra-wealthy continue to drop).
- It has not made government services more efficient. In fact, those are now substantially shittier.
- It has not made health care less expensive.
- It has not made unemployment go down (obviously).
- It has not made the private sector step in where government services falter.
Everything is more expensive and less efficient now. Small government does not equal good government.
Conservatives, this is what happens when you elect people who will actually follow through on the batshit insane garbage you’ve always wanted. You own this mess.
We all want Conservatives to think. I just don’t see it ever happening.
You expect them to reflect. They are already onto the next manufactured crisis.
I think they have proven that shrinking the government leads to less oversight and more corruption, so for them its a win!

That’s 270,000 people who were interviewed, trained and had accumulated domain specific knowledge paid for by the tax payer.
He’s bragging about burning your house down
Yeah, but that refund check of $1000 or whatever will be like throwing you a one-foot rope when you are a mile in the hole!
We all know. He made everything worse and made it cost more money.
270,000 ordinary Americans who were working in public service roles and are now unemployed. It’s nothing to celebrate.
You say that but you’re forgetting that tRUMP is such a cunt that he would publicly brag about raping little girls if he could. So bragging about ruining so many lives will deffo get his little mushroom twitching.
I’m honestly surprised he isn’t bragging about raping young girls. Why can’t he at this point? He’s not going to be prosecuted
Take THAT America!
He understands that’s not supposed to be the goal…right?
This, coupled with a universal basic income for the unemployed, made everyone forget about his pedophilia.
Nobody forgot about good pedophelia and incestuous comments about wanting to bang his own daughter.
Republicans are happy about those things.
There’s a big difference.
