Trump offers all federal workers a buyout with 7 months' pay in effort to shrink size of government
- The White House has begun offering buyouts worth seven months of salary to all federal employees who opt to leave their jobs by Feb. 6.
Former President Donald Trump has proposed a plan to offer federal workers a buyout equivalent to seven months' pay as part of his strategy to reduce the size of the federal government if he wins the 2024 presidential election. This initiative aims to cut down on what Trump describes as "wasteful" government spending and bureaucracy. The proposal includes targeting employees in agencies like the Department of Education, the Department of Commerce, and the Department of Labor, with the goal of streamlining government operations. Trump's plan would also involve reallocating some federal responsibilities to state and local governments, arguing that this would lead to more efficient governance. Critics, however, express concerns over potential disruptions in government services and the loss of institutional knowledge.
