Got to be a scary time for the US public sector with the talk of cutting just under 1/3rd of government spending (two trillion). We've seen the affect of a 5% cut on the NZ economy, pushing us into recession and creating chaos in the Wellington job market.

They're also taking about creating a partisan rather than politically neutral public sector, so expect redundancies from people who aren't Republicans. last time he was president Trump tried to make generals swear fealty to the president and they pushed back and said they swear to the constitution, so expect upheaval there.

Although, with Musk there you'd expect that defence and NASA aren't the ones getting the cut, it will be things like education, environment, infrastructure, and social welfare.

There's also talk about cutting a lot of regulations, regulations can seem bureaucratic but usually they're there for a reason, regulations are about learning from past mistakes and are often earned in blood.
