It's too bad some federal employees can't "justify their existence" and they lose their jobs.
It's difficult to be fired, but these are supposedly highly qualified individuals. They can find other jobs.
There were no tears for the workers when Biden used executive orders to shut down their jobs. He threw thousands of people out of work. He told them to learn to code.
So, these former federal employees losing their jobs as a result of trimming the bloated, corrupt, wasteful bureaucracy can learn to code, too.

FLASHBACK to 2019 when Joe Biden told coal miners to learn to code.

Biden: 'Herman' Hoover

Biden repeats his jobs lie, in which he forgets the pandemic happened: "The only guy other than him was another guy who became very famous named Herman— Herbert Hoover" pic.twitter.com/z5hmTxJvH2
— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) May 16, 2024

EVERYBODY KNOWS THERE WAS A PANDEMIC. THE COUNTRY WAS SHUT DOWN. JOBS WERE LOST, ESPECIALLY IN DEMOCRAT STATES.
We all know that. Biden can't sell the lie that President Trump was responsible. Fauci, China, and their gain of function mad scientist crap were responsible for the pandemic. The Democrats and their abuse of power were responsible for taking away our freedom and keeping the country shut down for basically two years.
It's a losing strategy for Biden's puppet masters to blame President Trump. The overwhelming majority of Americans blame Biden and his radical policies for our hellish economy and nightmarish inflation and wages that aren't even close to keeping up with the Biden economic hellscape. President Trump delivered historic peace and prosperity for Americans before China and American enablers like Fauci brought death and misery to millions and millions of people.
To top off Biden's BS, he called Herbert Hoover "Herman."
Biden can't read, can't speak, can't remember. He's a liar and a crook.

"[F]or most of my lifetime, the United States was such a dominant economic power, we were such a large market, our industry, our technology, our manufacturing was so significant that we always met the rest of the world economically on our terms. And now, because of the incredible rise of India and China and Brazil and other countries, the United States remains the largest economic and the largest market but there’s real competition out there.

----------------------------

"It is a vital national security interest of the United States to reduce these conflicts because whether we like it or not, we remain a dominant military superpower, and when conflicts break out, one way or another we get pulled into them.

--BARACK OBAMA
