I am all for cutting gov costs, then and now. I'm even more for efficiency
I would have a plan. Ready Fire Aim is not a plan.
Cutting programs without knowing if they would have saved taxpayers more than they cost, or saved lives, is a mistake
Tariffs, cutting programs, agencies and employees ALL AT ONCE, without doing an analysis of the impact on city, towns and states they impact, is going to backfire big time
Some cities have 9 pct or more of their employment as federal workers. Colleges losing millions in funding. Gov contractors and grant recipients having to close their businesses and lay off everyone.
Repeated in city after city. Town after town
What do you think the economic impact on their tax base is ? What do you think happens to home values ? What services will they have to end ?
What about the local businesses ? How many people will lose their jobs and homes because this was done ALL AT ONCE
Cut federal government bloat in an organized fashion and it's great.
Ready Fire Aim and the uncertainty it creates is a huge mistake
2017. Mark Cuban: Reduce the size of government by at least a third. Make it more efficient.
Just a reminder that like so many other Democrats, Cuban was all about cutting government waste until Elon and DOGE started actually doing it.
