  • President Donald Trump has proposed a buyout plan offering nearly all federal employees eight months' salary if they agree to resign by September, in a sweeping move to downsize and reform the government.

The article discusses former President Donald Trump's proposal for a federal buyout plan, which has ignited significant controversy and legal challenges.

The debate centers around the balance between fiscal responsibility and maintaining a competent government workforce.
