Acting Labor Secretary Says Federal Government Now Smallest Since 1966 Saving 40 Billion Annually

What was said

"The federal government is at its smallest size since 1966, and that saves taxpayers over $40 billion a year. The private sector is booming, exactly what President Trump promised."

Acting Labor Secretary Keith Sonderling revealed that the Trump administration has shrunk the federal government to its smallest workforce size since 1966, resulting in $40 billion in annual taxpayer savings. He contrasted this with the Biden administration's approach of growing federal payrolls while private sector job growth stagnated.
