The swamp is reportedly panicking over the draining that awaits.
There are nearly 3 million employees of the federal government, over 1% of the adult population.
Trump has promised to revive Schedule F to strip civil service protections for a slew of federal employees in “policy related” positions to make them at-will employees. Trump issued Schedule F in October 2020, and Biden quickly reversed it after taking office.
According to Fox News:
Federal employees who lived through the first Trump administration say they are experiencing "PTSD" over the president-elect's return to the White House, according to a new report.
During an appearance on "CNN News Central," national correspondent René Marsh said federal employees are "scared" and "anxious" about the possibility Trump will conduct mass firings early into his second term.
"We are in a dystopian hellscape. That is from a federal employee via text message last night and that is the mindset of many of the two million federal workers anticipating Donald Trump's return to office," Marsh said.
Trump has promised to create a Department of Government Efficiency with Elon Musk at its head to help reduce the size and scope of the federal bureaucracy. Under Biden, debt has ballooned to the point where interest on the debt alone nears $1 trillion - slightly more than the entire military budget.
Musk has called for “at least” $2 trillion in spending cuts, a roughly 30% decrease from current levels of spending.
