Government Diet

Time to lose a few dollars:

HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. explained the department will initially lay off approximately 10,000 employees with, according to Fox News, "a total downsizing [from] 82,000 to 62,000 full-time employees when combining this latest effort with early retirement and the results of the Fork in the Road, the deferred resignation offer of full pay and benefits until September." Kennedy added, "We aren't just reducing bureaucratic sprawl. We are realigning the organization with its core mission and our new priorities in reversing the chronic disease epidemic. This Department will do more — a lot more — at a lower cost to the taxpayer." The downsizing diet is projected to save nearly $1.8 billion annually.

These are the doctor's orders...
