    I expect the Trump government will prioritize cuts that make it difficult to get accurate data about the effects of the cuts.

      This is the entire point of the deferred resignation program being offered to Federal workers. It keeps people from being able to claim unemployment and pushes the true jobless numbers out into the next fiscal year (October) at the earliest. Now, why do you think they don’t want the real pain point for the American people to be until after they’ve raised the debt ceiling and cut taxes on billionaires?

      You’d think, but they’re literally cutting like mad men. And it looks like people are already noticing, Wisconsin just went blue for the judge and Florida got surprisingly close to flipping (if you look at the numbers it seems that Republicans were turning out in numbers to vote blue).
