In testimony on Capitol Hill on Tuesday and Wednesday, Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins confirmed that the U.S. Department of Agriculture is now looking to fill critical positions, after agreeing to pay more than 15,000 employees’ salaries and benefits through September in exchange for their resignations.
“We are actively looking and recruiting to fill those positions that are integral to the efforts and the key frontlines,” Rollins told members of the Senate Appropriations Committee on Tuesday.
But the need to fill positions so soon after letting people go has raised questions, including from Sen. Patty Murray of Washington, the top Democrat on the Senate Appropriations Committee.
“So you let people go and you’re looking for new people to fill the positions that they had experience in?” Murray asked.
I’m curious to see how many of those 15,000 get hired back on as consultants with corresponding inflated rate, then again we are being taken over by Nazis who have no qualms about deporting cancer ridden children so maybe they’ll just fold and let the market sort it out like supply side Jesus always preaches
