CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JUNE 10, 2025
THE SUPREME COURT’S DECISION TO ALLOW PRESIDENT TRUMP TO CONDUCT MASS REDUCTIONS IN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WILL BE A MAJOR BLOW TO THE DEEP STATE AND A LONG NEEDED TRIMMING OF GOVERNMENT FAT AND OVERREACH.
JUSTICE KETANJI BROWN JACKSON WARNED THE DECISION “WOULD RELEASE A WRECKING BALL,” WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT’S NEEDED. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS THE NATION’S LARGEST EMPLOYER AND IT HAS LONG BEEN DYSFUNCTIONAL IN SO MANY AREAS. DOGE POINTED OUT JUST SOME OF THAT DYSFUNCTION, MISSPENDING, FRAUD AND ABUSE.
LET’S REMEMBER, THOUGH, THAT FEDERAL EMPLOYEES ARE HUMAN BEINGS. THEY HAVE MORTGAGES AND RENT TO PAY, CAR PAYMENTS, FOOD TO BUY AND CHILDREN. IF THEY ARE GOING TO BE LET GO, COMPASSION REQUIRES THEY BE HELPED FIND WORK IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR. I’VE BEEN OUT OF WORK AT ONE TIME IN MY LIFE AND IT’S A TERRIBLE FEELING. THE BANK ACCOUNT SHRINKS. PEOPLE DON’T RETURN PHONE CALLS. YOUR SENSE OF WORTH AND VALUE TO OTHERS DISAPPEARS.
SO YES, LET’S DISSEMBLE THE DEEP STATE, BUT WITH EMPATHY AND HELP FOR ANY AND ALL WHO WILL BE LET GO. IT’S THE RIGHT THING TO DO. I’M CAL THOMAS.
