Chaotic, unnecessary firing of federal workers will cost us at least $135 billion - Lemon Drop - 04-25-2025
This year alone. Thrn there are the court battles. We pay for those too.
"The Partnership for Public Service, a nonprofit organization that studies the federal work force, has used budget figures to produce a rough estimate that firings, re-hirings, lost productivity and paid leave of thousands of workers will cost upward of $135 billion this fiscal year. At the Internal Revenue Service, a DOGE-driven exodus of 22,000 employees would cost about $8.5 billion in revenue in 2026 alone, according to figures from the Budget Lab at Yale University. The total number of departures is expected to be as many as 32,000."

Easily solved with bogus 10-year projections.
