We don't like to gloat, but many news organizations caught the fact there was a rumor about cuts to the U.S. State Departments and Bureaus sizes. Just announced by none other than Secretary of State Marco Rubio, said it will reduce staff by 15% and consolidate 100 other bureaus worldwide.
Marco's famous words echoed today:
“We cannot win the battle for the 21st century with bloated bureaucracy that stifles innovation and misallocates scarce resources,” Rubio said in a department-wide email obtained by AP. He said the reorganization aimed to “meet the immense challenges of the 21st Century and put America First.”
State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce echoed that sentiment, saying the “sweeping changes will empower our talented diplomats” but adding that it would not result in the immediate dismissal of personnel.
“It’s not something where people are being fired today,” Bruce told reporters Tuesday. “They’re not going to be walking out of the building. It’s not that kind of a dynamic. It is a roadmap. It’s a plan.”
It's clear Marco means business. Tammy Bruce was especially helpful in providing relief to worried state department workers.
With a goal of cutting the state department's budget by 50%, you can expect a hell of a bloodbath in the next upcoming days and weeks.
Forget Elon Musks' chainsaw, people we're going to need an industrial-sized shredding machine for the desks those people used to work at!
You can be rest assured that no worker who was let go will ever be able to be transferred to another department to escape those awful cuts.
Hawaii Democratic Senator Brian Schatz put it succinctly:
“On its face, this new reorganization plan raises grave concerns that the United States will no longer have either the capacity or capability to exert U.S. global leadership, achieve critical national security objectives, stand up to our adversaries, save lives, and promote democratic values,” Hawaii Democratic Sen. Brian Schatz said.
“These have always been bipartisan endeavors for good reason,“ he added. ”They make America safer, stronger, and more prosperous. Now they are at risk.”
