  • Once again, the new-old president is fulfilling all the spoken and unspoken desires of the Reagan Revolution and the Gingrich Revolution. We are witnesses to the construction of the bathtub that Grover Norquist only talked about.

The article from Esquire discusses a proposal by Donald Trump to offer buyouts to federal employees as part of his plan to reduce the size of the federal government if he wins the 2024 presidential election. Trump's strategy includes downsizing what he refers to as the "deep state," aiming to cut down on what he perceives as unnecessary bureaucracy. The buyout plan would encourage federal workers to leave their positions voluntarily, thereby reducing the workforce without the need for firings. This move is part of a broader initiative to overhaul the federal government's structure, which Trump and his allies believe would make it more efficient and less obstructive to his policies. Critics, however, worry about the potential loss of experienced personnel and the disruption of government services.
