Making good on a promise to slash government, President-elect Trump has asked his incoming team to pursue spending and staffing cuts.
Insiders said that the spending reductions in some departments could go as high as 10 percent and staff cuts to 20 percent, numbers that would rock Washington if he follows through.
At least two so-called “landing teams” in Cabinet agencies have relayed the call for cuts as part of their marching orders to shrink the flab in government.
The teams also are looking at staffing cuts over four years through attrition, a hiring freeze and reorganization.
The plan is winning cheers in conservative, anti-tax and anti-spending corners in Washington that have long sought massive cuts in the bureaucracy.
Presidents rarely cut spending, choosing freezes instead. In the meantime, federal spending has reached historic levels. Trump has picked a budget hawk, Rep. Mick Mulvaney, to head the Office of Management and Budget, a clear sign that spending cuts are a top priority.

Early out means you can leave now!
Let’s see what Trump thinks of the PFP Bonus scam…..lose $5.3 Billion in 2016 ( $120 Billion since 2009) and give out bonus money? He already said he is stopping this scam at the VA Hospital Administration, this is going to be very interesting. Obammy’s PMG IOD Muffin Megahan was not invited to Trump Tower….not good at all.she was not too bright giving out PFP bonus cash this christmas knowing he won the election……just another greedy, stupid, dim bulb. I hope President Trump comes to the Postal Circus with a chainsaw……..what will I lose 1%? who cares. they cut the work force down to the point where there is one po mismanager for every 3 workers, no meat on the bone…….I am not the one who is worried.bring it on man, bring it all down man. we deliver pink slips for you lol!
Trump is right on this count. Government is Bloated! Those who have won
the US payout lottery ie the Americans whose lives depend on being a parasite
on the rest of the working stiffs, must be given of social reality. The workers
outside of the 495 beltway have had it. cf the election of a D Trump. Hardly
perfect, but a reasonable start in adjusting the rudder on federal profligacy.
Pres (ex) Obama’s unrealistic tack has been repudiated. Thank g(G)od.
Pick your upper/lower case. Either way, thanks.
