Trump Considering Cutting Government Budget by 10%, Federal Workforce by 20%

Trump promises the moon and the stars, but I at least like the direction of this claim.

Making good on a promise to slash government, President-elect Trump has asked his incoming team to pursue spending and staffing cuts.
Insiders said that the spending reductions in some departments could go as high as 10 percent and staff cuts to 20 percent, numbers that would rock Washington if he follows through.

At least two so-called "landing teams" in Cabinet agencies have relayed the call for cuts as part of their marching orders to shrink the flab in government.

Looks like the Trump transition teams are big fans of our GAINZZZ philosophy.

I nominate Sixkiller for Secretary of Deadlifts and Broseidon for National Squat Advisor.
