HHS states that the job cuts will save $1.8 billion. The agency currently has a budget of nearly $2 trillion
30,000 jobs destroyed, for a savings of 0.1%. Wow, such efficiency.

0.1% so far. It's probaly going to end up costing the government at some point.
That feels like a pure net loss, economically.
Not enough to give a useful amount of tax money back to anyone who would spend it, but enough layoffs to widely disrupt pay scales, reducing taxable income until recovery.
I suppose it's a rational move if the only goal is class warfare.
The cuts include ... 300 at CMS ... The reorganization will not impact Medicare or Medicaid.
LOL PRESS B TO DOUBT.
