 Dec. 2, 2024 | GOVERNMENT WORKERS | Efforts to cut government [spending by $2 trillion ] should start with runaway contractor spending, if the so-called Department of Government Efficiency recommendations become law, American Federation of Government Employees National President Everett Kelley says. “By their very nature, cuts of this size also would require slashing spending on our military, homeland security, federal law enforcement, and virtually every aspect of our government operations. This kind of financial pressure would lead to painful, widespread reductions in services that will affect Americans from every walk of life,” Kelley said. “To really attack government waste, the administration should target private contractors who are price gouging American taxpayers to deliver poorer service at higher cost while their corporate profits and executive pay skyrocket.” AFGE represents more than 800,000 federal and D.C. government workers.
