The mass firings have begun

On the plus side some of these agencies have had to hire back a lot of the people Elon fired because they learned just that. I read somewhere that the Department of Ed rehired about half the people Elon fired just to get the student loan side functioning again at even a snail's pace and I am sure a lot of the one's Trump just RIF'd will we back to get the the K-12 side working again in due course. At the same time, Biden really effed up that Department so the current Administration inherited a mess to begin with. Now there are a lot of people who should have had their loans discharged by now that won't before the end of the year meaning they are going to be facing massive tax liabilities that they legally would have avoided had the Department done what it was supposed to do before December 31, 2025.

As for efficiency, I have never really been opposed to the GOP idea of block grants to states and let them innovate as that in theory would be more efficient. I am just not sure many of these states would be innovative other than in funneling the money to something else, so I am not sure how to improve things.

The Department Of Education shouldn't even exist.

Since our government currently employs 3 times as many people as they need, a good healthy cut of some of the dead wood is needed.

Firing people because money doesn't grow on trees should become the new trend.
