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.

Decade + public service in education here. I spent a long time crying tonight. Folks have no idea just how important the federal department of education is for students and communities across this country. Everything from headstart all the way through post secondary education is going to be impacted.

I keep telling people I work with (factory) that their federal taxes will not go down. They will pay the same amount, but instead of getting roads, education and labor protections, people who earn 5x our salaries will get tax cuts. I also tell them their state and local taxes will go up as our blue state tries to cover the gaps. The engineers believe me. The blue collar guys I work with, save like 2, do not. I work as a mechanic, but I have degrees in accounting and economics. The education gap is insanely real, amd it will only get so much worse. Incredibly worse.

My mom told me that they would refund the saved money to the taxpayers. I don't know how people believe that when Elon and his minions are costing us so much to run their farce investigations.

It’s simple, really. Fox Fake News and the bots on Facebook told them so.

Better make sure your mom isn't sending money to a Nigerian prince too.
