BREAKING: Mass Federal Layoffs Begin

The Trump administration has finally brought down the hammer as it had threatened. Reductions in force are rolling out, as Democrats still refuse to give up on healthcare benefits for illegal aliens and end their government shutdown.

Reductions in force, or RIFs, refer to significant job terminations, which can result from various causes — in this case, because the Trump administration is reducing our excessively large federal workforce to get the Democrats to come to the negotiating table. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Russ Vought made the announcement Friday:

The RIFs have begun.

These are the mass layoffs that many Americans have anticipated for several days now.

Fox Business’s Larry Kudlow previously described the option of such layoffs as the “silver lining” for a government shutdown, since our national debt is approaching $38 trillion, and our federal bureaucracy is out of all proportion to necessity or usefulness.

A government shutdown is not ideal, but gee wiz, if we're going to have one, we may as well go right to DOGE 2.0.
