Ramaswamy says he wants to cut 1M civilian federal employees
- Republican presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy has proposed shutting down five federal agencies, including the FBI and the Department of Education, and reducing the federal employee headcount by half in his first year in office. If elected, he plans to fire 20,000 FBI employees and send 15,000 to other agencies.
- Ramaswamy's plan to eliminate federal agencies and reduce the federal workforce is similar to the larger effort by conservative organizations and former Trump administration officials. However, implementing such a purge would face significant pushback from federal employees and lawmakers.
- Ramaswamy criticizes the current system where presidents are like "puppets" unable to implement policies. Despite running against Trump, he has praised the former president as the most effective this century.
