This stat is what makes what these CACs are doing even worse:
In 2024, federal employee compensation made up about 4.3% of the federal budget.
They are only cutting these jobs to privatize the same jobs to enrich themselves.
I had to look this up because k thought the figure was much higher.
As of fiscal year 2024, the U.S. federal government allocated approximately $384 billion to pay and benefits for its civilian employees, constituting about 5.7% of the total federal spending of $6.75 trillion.Â
When including military personnel, the combined expenditure on pay and benefits rises to $584 billion, representing roughly 8.6% of the total federal budget.Â
These figures encompass salaries and benefits for a workforce of about 2.3 million civilian employees and 1.4 million active-duty military personnel.
Cruelty for the sake of cruelty. I can’t think of one popular Republican policy that isn’t punitive to another group in this country.
