Sit down when I tell you this…
The average private-sector worker earns $65,000.
The average federal employee earns $106,000, 40 percent more for doing far less.
Even state and local government employees average $82,000.
It is completely backwards.

Trump’s Assault on the Deep State: Slashing Overpaid Leftist Bureaucrats to Restore America
With the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, Trump is finally reining in this unaccountable elite, proving that firing them all is not just necessary but long overdue to make America great again. Trump’s second term has been defined by his aggressive push to dismantle the administrative state, which conservatives have long viewed as a leftist stronghold obstructing real reform. Upon returning to the White House in January 2025, Trump immediately revived his “Schedule F” initiative, stripping job protections from tens of thousands of policy-influencing bureaucrats, making it easier to fire those who resist his America First agenda.
This wasn’t voluntary goodwill; it was a calculated move to force out entrenched leftists who had grown fat on inflated salaries and remote work perks. As Johnson noted, the federal workforce—nearly 3 million strong, larger than Amazon and Walmart combined—delivers “bureaucracy, inefficiency, and frustration,” not results. Trump’s administration celebrated this exodus, with officials estimating up to 300,000 departures by year’s end, accelerating under the government shutdown engineered by Democrats’ obstructionism. Fox News reported that the shutdown could amplify job cuts, giving Trump discretion to reshape agencies without rehiring furloughed workers. In July 2025, the administration released data showing the federal workforce slashed since January, with hundreds of thousands more slated for October.
Trump’s DOGE targets this bloat, with Musk and Ramaswamy exposing telework scams—like employees relocating to Florida while drawing D.C. paychecks. Senator Joni Ernst’s DOGE caucus has spotlighted bureaucrats attending meetings from beaches or bubble baths on taxpayer time. Worse, these overpaid bureaucrats are leftists by design, skewing the administrative state toward progressive agendas. Heritage reports that departments like Education funnel 97% of political donations to Democrats, turning agencies into partisan fortresses. The State Department is dominated by one-party ideologues, with allied NGOs like InterAction giving 100% of contributions to Democrats. This bias manifests in resistance to conservative policies, from leaking classified info to slow-walking reforms. Trump’s first term exposed this “Deep State” sabotage, and now DOGE is rooting it out.
House Republicans, led by MTG’s DOGE subcommittee, partner with Musk and Ramaswamy to slash spending. Senate DOGE, under Ernst, targets telework and sells vacant offices.
This purge restores accountability. Heritage warns the Deep State is on the ballot, and Trump’s victories prove Americans demand it. Polls show support for smaller government, despite leftist pushback. As X users note, these cuts haven’t disrupted services, exposing the bureaucracy’s redundancy. Trump needs a Cabinet to finish what Reagan couldn’t—dismantling the swamp. Fire them all, reset pay to reflect service, and let private enterprise thrive. America’s future depends on it. We can end the Democrat Party and cement America’s prosperity for many decades to come. All we now need is for the Republicans to not get in Trump’s way yet again. Like that stunt pulled by Senator Thune who actually blocked Trump from making recess appointments. Sorry Thune, but you are a low life for your actions. To block a Republicans president, what the hell were you thinking. You have shown yourself to be a servant still of the Deep State.
Every day Democrats keep the government shut down, the sombrero gets 10x bigger. 🪇
