DID YOU KNOW? THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT BALLOONED UNDER BIDEN—NOW ELON’S CUTTING THE FAT

In 2019, federal employment stood at approximately 2.1 million.

By December 2024, under President Biden, it swelled to over 3 million—a 43% increase in just a few years.

Is this how Biden got those occasional “good” job reports? By hiring half the country?

Seems like the solution to every problem was another government hire.

In 2023 alone, the government added 709,000 jobs.

Because, clearly, bureaucracy wasn’t bloated enough.

Now, with 75,000 workers accepting buyouts and over 9,500 getting the boot, even they see the inefficiency.

Enter Elon and the Department of Government Efficiency (@DOGE), slashing through the red tape and trimming the excess.

Studies show massive government growth hurts economic performance.

But who cares when taxpayer dollars are unlimited, right?

That is very true but I’m more interested in how the debt went from $909 BILLION in 1980 to $36 TRILLION in 45 years.
