The guys is a ****ing moron and this whole process has been ****ed. There isn't this gargantuan amount of "fraud" occurring in the different government agencies. The deficit is old people. That is the dirty not so secret none of them want to address. Trump's tax cuts are going to hit again and we are going to have another massive deficit and less functional government because they canned the people who know the things. They will be forced to hire people back as contractors at 1.5x their former salaries to fill gaps.
Some genius.

I don't go by opinion pieces or from publications that have an axe to grind.
However, $150 billion is nothing to sneeze at and should be saved every year. Are some contractors needed? Probably, but they're not full time employees and may be used temporarily. Without specifics, it's a little too soon to say that contractors are more expensive than full time employees.

The shift comes as communications staff at the agency has dwindled due to reassignments in front-facing roles at field offices.
