DOGE’s mass federal workforce cuts may cost taxpayers $135 billion this fiscal year alone


Quantifying the cost of DOGE

The Partnership of Public Service estimated DOGE could be costing taxpayers roughly $135 billion. With the 2.3 million people in the federal workforce receiving a total $270 billion in annual payroll, Stier believes the cost of firing, re-hiring, and putting workers on paid leave—as well as the losses in productivity as a result of the personnel changes—has cost the government about half of that total payroll.

A Yale University Budget Lab report from March found additional evidence that DOGE’s intended saving may be costing the government. While it’s unclear how much of the IRS’s workforce will be reduced, the Budget Lab calculated that should 22,000 employees leave the agency, it would lose $8.5 billion in net revenue in 2026, largely as a result of fewer personnel available to conduct audits. Over 10 years, this loss would amount to nearly $198 billion in revenue, according to the report.

What did Twain say about lies and statistics?

Of course they are going to defend government spending.

Hooked in like a largemouth Bass?

And sometimes you spend more now to save more money in the future. Like investing in Tulips today and getting years of blooms for free later.

YA LIKE THE VETS WHO R SOL.....THEY HAVE NO FUTURE...THE TRUMP TIRADE TRAMPLED THEIR LIVES AND LEFT BURNT EARTH...TULIPS TURNED TO TRAGEDY.

The VA was a disaster when Bernie Sanders oversaw them in the Senate. They were a disaster when the Biden Regime gave their funding to USAID.

Face it, when you aren't allowed to fire underachieving former veterans, they are going to slough off. Come in late, leave early, ignore long lines.

And HA thinks we need to keep on staff those employees who have been ignoring our injured veterans for decades.

Awesome news! I hope Temu goes bankrupt.
