Trump’s EPA To Lay Off 8% Of Its Employees In Next 2 Months

Winning! Now, With Extra Hotness!

From the Daily Caller:
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will lay off more than 1,200 employees over the next two months by offering buyouts, documents obtained by E&E News indicate. 
E&E News obtained an email from the National Treasury Employees Union to its members at EPA stating EPA plans to buy out 1,227 positions, 655 of which will be from agency headquarters in Washington, D.C. EPA employees could apply for buyouts starting last Thursday and must submit their decisions by July 26. 
The layoffs will occur over the next two months. EPA will offer employees up to $25,000 in cash in exchange for them leaving. This is a standard practice for federal employees that allows them to retire early and still qualify for full benefits.

Has it occurred to anyone that all this Russia and leaking nonsense has been playing right into Trump's hands? He may actually be orchestrating it? Maybe even Pence or Priebus is the leaker, with Trump's blessing? (very similar to an idea Pasto has about the Don Jr. and the Russians meeting)

BECAUSE while the Dems and Libs are in full froth over Russia and collusion and the bullshit scandal of the day Trump has been getting things like this through with very little opposition.

Always watch the other hand...

Yeah, it has occurred to me. I guess you could say that whether or not he engineers it, or at the least perpetuates it, it is helping him at this point.

LOL
