    Here’s another issue. Can we believe any of the numbers being posted on federal .gov sites any more?

    I’ve been reading a lot about the inception of the welfare Queen idea, as pushed by Reagan first in California and then in our government as a whole ever since. So I initially started reading this as Trump numbers to support that nonsense.

    I want to believe it is what it says it is, a warning sign to us all.

    That’s a double-tap “DEI” hire. I say “DEI” because we aren’t allowed to call them “undesirables” anymore… /s

    I didn’t see the “un” before “employment” and got worried about what this article was trying to say, lol
