In a bombshell turn of events, the Central Intelligence Agency has offered to buy out its entire workforce as part of President Donald Trump’s sweeping initiative to streamline the bloated federal bureaucracy.
The shocking revelation dropped Tuesday, when the CIA became the first intelligence agency to allow employees to quit their jobs immediately in exchange for eight months of full pay and benefits.
The mass downsizing “is a bid to bring the agency in line with President Trump’s priorities, including targeting drug cartels,” officials told The Wall Street Journal.
The CIA buyout offer mirrors the federal civilian employee buyout proposal Trump made last month, which senior administration officials projected could ultimately save taxpayers $100 billion annually.
The resignation period began Jan. 28 and ends on Feb. 6.
In an email to federal civilian employees last week, the Office of Personnel Management suggested there’s no assurance that those who don’t resign won’t be laid off.
“If you choose to remain in your current position, we thank you for your renewed focus on serving the American people to the best of your abilities and look forward to working together as part of an improved federal workforce,” the OPM email read.
“At this time, we cannot give you full assurance regarding the certainty of your position or agency, but should your position be eliminated, you will be treated with dignity and will be afforded the protections in place for such positions.”
This sentiment was echoed in a Washington Post report late Tuesday.
“A supervisor in a government agency now run by allies of billionaire Elon Musk told staff early this week that layoffs across the federal government are ‘likely’ after Thursday’s deadline to accept the deferred resignation offer,” the outlet reported.
Numerous X users expressed support for Trump‘s bold move to streamline the federal government, which is the largest employer in the United States.
Country music star John Rich was thrilled at the idea of slashing the CIA staff.
“Great!! They can’t overthrow any governments or start any wars if they’re all at home,” he wrote.
We’re still at the beginning of Trump’s second term, and already he has made some big moves to drain the swamp.
Hopefully, he will faithfully execute his promise to voters to put America first and make it great again.
Mass deportations of illegal aliens and slashing the size of the federal government are steps in the right direction. source
I like what he said about the IRS agents who were recently hired with guns. Maybe they will keep their jobs and be moved to the border. Something like that. Hospitals have halted gender surgeries for children, illegal invasion is down 90%, we are getting some accountability and more to come with all the excess pork barrel spending. This is the LORD’s doing. All glory to God!
All glory to GOD indeed!
Haha! Yes, a jolly neat move indeed, and it is definitely a fact that the CIA, and most (if not all!) such bodies, are waaaaaay overstaffed/oversized. It is typically socialist to have enormous groups such as that, to do all the constant nit-picking monitoring of the people the government is supposed to serve, and of course to help meddle in the affairs of other countries to get them in line with socialist ways, or break them if they are simply an ‘enemy’. I think they all need vast downsizing — over here too — and perhaps some of them can join the army instead, which is a good deal too small….
I’m amazed at the speed of President Trump as he makes good on his promises. These are exciting times in which we live!! Praise GOD and hallelujah!!
Us taxpayers are finally getting our federal tax money’s worth. Not so with my state’s govt which is seemingly & permanently demoncrap. Hope springs eternal, however & prayer changes things.
And GOD is in full control!
Amen to that! 🙂
