BTCCSquare news:
The TRUMP administration has escalated mass layoffs of federal workers following the government shutdown that began last week. Russell Vought, Director of the Office of Management and Budget, confirmed via an X post on October 10 that reductions in force (RIFs) are now underway. While the WHITE House has not disclosed exact figures, affected departments include Treasury and Health.
These layoffs amplify economic risks tied to the shutdown. Unlike typical furloughs where non-essential employees eventually receive back pay, Trump has threatened permanent terminations without compensation. The MOVE has sparked heated debates, with critics warning of cascading damage to local economies reliant on federal wages.
