President Trump's administration is moving to dismantle federal agencies through significant layoffs, collaborating with Elon Musk's initiative. A memo indicates that agencies should prepare for staffing cuts, particularly targeting the Environmental Protection Agency. While officials argue this is about reducing bureaucracy and saving taxpayer money, critics point to upcoming tax reforms that will increase deficit benefitting wealthy Americans. Many federal workers serve roles crucial for stability across administrations, raising concerns about the implications of such mass firings.
The administration has ordered agencies to collaborate with Elon Musk's DOGE to prepare for significant layoffs, targeting federal workers seen as insufficiently loyal to Trump.
Trump emphasized in his cabinet meeting the intention to drastically reduce personnel at the EPA, suggesting that 65% of its employees could be cut.
Critics argue that efforts to shrink government are contradicted by a tax bill increasing the deficit, benefiting mainly the wealthiest Americans.
Experts highlight the critical role of nonpartisan civil service workers in upholding stability during changes in presidential administrations amidst the push for layoffs.
