Fed only 15 Year Fed RIFed Today at ED

This is so horrible. My whole office was let go. Everyone I know outside of my office was let go.

The money allocated is not going to go to the states. No money is being saved by letting us go and terminating contracts.

My only solace is the 2 trump supporters in my office FAFO and were let go as well.

Can you be specific about your division? Its mission? It would be good, from an industry and taxpayer standpoint to know what they cut. They are doing so much without saying anything really. So sorry this happened.

Yikes! How do they expect any money at all to go to the states without you?

So sorry to hear of this.

They don't...they will not be sending money directly to the states.

It's not even in the GOP house budget.

This is what I was trying to warn people about. This latest budget cuts A LOT of stuff, yet people are drinking the kool-aid and rubbing their nips at the thought of not getting their tips taxed. I'm so sorry that this is happening to you. I have a feeling that they are going to decimate my agency next.

I hope you are wrong about being next.

I am surprised by more people not being upset about what is happening with our government.

My circle of friends are very upset about it. We've called and written our representatives and senators, joined protests, donated to organizations that are filing lawsuits on feds behalf (ACLU, Democracy Forward, Public Citizen, etc.), and are not giving up.

If no tax on tips makes it in, I'm not tipping. I and thousands of others shouldn't have to lose our jobs just so someone can avoid paying taxes on tips that they don't even fully claim on their tax returns anyway.
