Tax the rich!
I’m willing to bet that as the cuts continue as they start to hit them in their pockets,wonder how they will feel then.
But you need to cut government jobs, increase unemployment, allowing the consumer to pull back spending…. to grow the economy! Instead of spending tax money on good government jobs, we could cut taxes on the rich!
Since Obama took office, 636,000 state and local jobs have been cut. In 2011 alone, 113,000 jobs were cut in local schools, 68,000 jobs were cut in local government administration, and 78,000 jobs were cut in state government administration, according to a Commerce Department
This is exactly the way Jesus said we should treat each other. Even if you don't believe; would it be a bad thing to treat each other the way he said we should?
Republicans, you voted for this.
I hope you're ready to start paying the bills for any of you're loved ones who are currently receiving benefits from government programs because I believe the plan is to do away with those programs.
I know that there are wealthy or well-off Republicans that can do that but I think that they are well in the minority.
Also, I'm pretty sure that Trump & Musk will be OK nonmatter what happens.
MAGA fanatics loved this. Until it actually affected them personally and financially. 🙄🖕
Well, let’s look at it this way all these government workers that were living off the government taxpayers other words they cost us money, not making us money. The purpose of being in business is to make money, not lose money. It sucks but just grow up and face the real world like everybody else has had to do working for private companies
Welcome to the real world where people get hired fired, laid off or whatever but at least when they worked, they earned their money by working for a company not for the taxpayers

I am for cutting government waste of tax payer dollars but not this way through layoffs. You could have achieved the same goal by other means: (i) initiating hiring freeze: there are people retiring every day. don't fill that vacant position until the work force is reduced till it meets your targeted goal; (ii) cut on purchases of computer software and hardwares, laptops, desktops, iphones, smartphones and accessories – these are bought and replaced so frequently whether there is a need or not, (iiI) reduce the frequency on purchases on equipment, vehicles, and fleet ; (iv) limit public work and federal highway spending on only those that needs renovation or reconstruction.
Elon, Jeff, Donald and all other billionaires would like to thank you for transferring your benefits etc. to them so they will have bigger tax cuts.
Don’t stand in line
No rightsizing can ever be trickled in. Sabotaging, damaging, treason threats have been made. Media is in total SCARE TACTICS. WASHINGTON IS BLOATED SO bad, they don’t even know who’s doing what. 50% cuts should bring about major cost reductions and it will settle out soon.
Boo hoo hoo😢
Welcome to the real world 🌎
So funny. You voted for him
My question is…who did you vote for?
No they are not politicians they are business people who are looking at income and outlays that can't match up snd aren't sustainable.
Well they put Trump in that oval office ….
Imagine campaigning for, donating to, and flat out supporting with every fiber in your being, president Trump for the past 8 years, and finally getting the chance to vote him back into office…only to watch him fire you from the job you've had for the past 15 or so years.
These are the very people who voted for Donald Trump.Now they're complaining and don't understand. REALLY?
Blame the ones who were corrupt in those offices stealing our tax payers money . and paying social security to dead people and Soooo on.
Why are people making this such a big deal as compared to when frontline healthcare workers who had risked their health and the health of their families by taking care of people infected with Covid, a virus that “none” knew anything about in the early days, were then thanklessly coerced by the government to take an essentially experimental vaccine or be fired?! Where was the media, and specifically the legacy media’s outrage about that?!! The frontline healthcare workers were extremely needed and horribly lacking. They weren’t just let go. They were COERCED into a decision. We, in healthcare, are still dealing with the repercussions of this decision that was made by Bidens administration. Healthcare workers left the field in droves for this backstabbing and we have not yet recovered. I still am making sacrifices for the state of and future of healthcare workers. This video is kind of pathetic in comparison. The government is cutting waste. They do not need all of these services anymore. It happens. I’m am sorry that people are loosing their jobs, but this really pales in comparison and I will not be guilted into a toxic sort of empathy.
What is so hard to understand , It so easy to spend money that you don't earn. nobody buys anything they don't need or can afford to pay for with their own money.
If u have been “ working from home” for the past 5 years, your free ride is over. Sorry but not sorry.
These are not and never were real jobs. These were jobs financed by 1.8 trillion dollars of federal debt last year paid for with fake money. The total debt is $36.22 trillion.
Yeah, it's not going to be fun to rip the bandaid off of this, but the collapse of the dollar would be even less fun.
Leave it to cbs for this bias fake news…
Everyone needs to stop complaining… Elon and the Heritage Foundation bought this election fair and square… Going once, going twice… America, sold to the highest bidder! Remember just a few years ago when Elon was Trumps number one enemy and how his supporters also hated Elon because their orange cult leader did… then Elon said "I will use my money and my social media to sway this election as long as I have control"…. Trump bent over and so did all his followers… remember, rule one of the cult, do as the cult leader does!
Reduce the federal budget through making the bureaucracy leaner and more efficient… Great idea. Appoint unqualified friends and people who lack the expertise to carry this out logically and intelligently…. BAD idea. This will make the situation worse in the long run.
As my dad used to say all the time, the road to h ell is paved with "good ideas".
Wrap a ribbon around your MAGA cap; the ride is only going to get rougher; enjoy!
I'm loving it.
keep in mind, for several generations, our Gov has proactively been on a course of "dumbing down" US citizens levels of education – especially in politics, where lies and daily untruths are now considered commonplace. Half of our nation has failed to practice critical thinking enough to recognize a dangerous psychopath, even when he gets on a mic under a spotlight and admits it on camera !
Welcome to King Trump’s regime.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Told you so
I’m really don’t get people applauding, people are still in the mindset of “it’s not me, I don’t care” you all better wake up. These cuts do nothing to the national budget or debt. The cuts are being done in an unprofessional way, with no explanation as to are these cuts justified
So sorry your husband got contracts through USAID and since his contracts stopped it means they were not essential.
What’s the problem you voted for the felon
Everyone in the comment section probably thinks 50% of the population are federal employees. The number is less than 1% of the US population…
CBS "News"….😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
All these cuts so the top 10 % wealthiest Americans can get what's left the pie! 100% facts
Good..Some people lost everything during covid lockdowns..No sympathy over here.
They keep talking about billonaires creat jobs. Yet the billonaires are using ai to get rid of them.😂😂😂
Go Trump … drain the swamp and let’s get to MAGA.
America First!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
