US: About 10,000 workers sacked as Trump, Musk step up action on agencies

_{//politics-government.news-articles.net/content/ .. ed-as-trump-musk-step-up-action-on-agencies.html}
^{Published in Politics and Government on Saturday, February 15th 2025 at 2:20 GMT by MSN}

The United States Government on Friday sacked no fewer than 9,500 workers who handled everything from managing federal lands to caring for military veterans. This followed the campaign by President Donald Trump and his adviser Elon Musk to radically cut back the US bureaucracy.

The article from MSN discusses a significant reduction in the workforce at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), where approximately 10,000 employees have been laid off. This action is part of a broader initiative by the Trump administration and Elon Musk to streamline government operations and reduce what they describe as unnecessary bureaucratic overhead. The layoffs are aimed at cutting costs and increasing efficiency within these agencies, with critics arguing that these cuts could undermine environmental protections and food safety regulations. The move has sparked a debate on the balance between government efficiency and the need for regulatory oversight, with supporters praising the reduction in government size and detractors warning of potential negative impacts on public health and environmental safety.
