One estimate of the damage done to Federal Government employees is that about 150,000 out of about 2.4 million such individuals (about 6 percent), are no longer employed by the US government, and with many agencies put out of existence, or barely in operation, if not totally shut down, by the Department Of Government Efficiency (DOGE) run by Elon Musk!
The shock and disarray of the mass “blood letting” going on, as described in an article in the Washington Post, has led to suicide, depression, and many other horrendous outcomes of dedicated workers who have had their lives totally upended.
Meanwhile, many government agencies have been damaged, and are not capable of meeting the responsibilities with diminished staffs, therefore, endangering the American people in so many areas of public policy and life.
What Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Republicans in Congress, by not challenging Presidential abuses, is doing, is undermining the safety and security of the entire population long term.
It is as if Donald Trump and company are working to dismantle and destroy the American government, and only favoring the further enrichment of the billionaires and corporations, a new “Gilded Age”!
