in World News Democrats Panic as DOGE Prepares for Mass Firing of Federal Workers
by
Democrats are panicking over proposed plans by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to conduct mass firings of federal workers when President Donald Trump is sworn into office.
Virginia House Speaker Don Scott Jr., a Democrat, wrote a letter to Virginia’s unemployment agency.
He is warning of the implications that massive layoffs could have as Virginia is home to a large portion of the federal workers that work in Washington D.C.
In that letter, Scott wrote to Virginia Employment Commissioner Demetrios claiming:
“We should all be concerned about what these changes mean for the employees raising their families in Virginia, paying taxes in Virginia, and calling Virginia home.”
The letter continued saying:
“Taking President-elect Trump at his word that he will immediately move to downsize the workforce and relocate agencies, we can safely assume that a large portion of our workforce that resides in the commonwealth will be negatively affected.”
Democrats are concerned that DOGE purging the federal government of bloat will lead to unemployment.
However, they are apparently unconcerned with the massive expenditures that maintaining a bloated federal workforce costs taxpayers.
