"A wrecking ball and destroying people’s lives for no reason.”

Summary

IRS worker Robert McCabe, a Trump voter, expressed shock after being among 7,000 laid off by DOGE, an initiative under the Trump administration led by Elon Musk.

McCabe stated DOGE is acting like a “wrecking ball and destroying people’s lives for no reason.”

The layoffs, targeting probationary employees with less than a year of service, affect hundreds at the IRS and are part of a broader effort to shrink the federal workforce.

The cuts raise concerns about impacts on tax collection during a critical season.

    Does anyone know why a federal worker would vote to have their own job removed? If they thought they would be safe, where’s the logic there? Did trump say he was cool with IRS workers at some point?

    I also dont quote understand someone who believes in minimizing the federal government, then working for the federal government.
