First off, that number’s a steaming pile straight from the backsides of some libtard congressional clowns. Zero evidence. Just plucked from thin air like a bad magic trick. Don’t buy it? Cough up their source. Good luck with that.Trump and Unchecked Billionaire Musk Have Fired Nearly 6,000 Veterans

WASHINGTON — House Appropriations Committee Ranking Member Rosa DeLauro (CT-03) and Subcommittee on Military Construction and Veterans Affairs and Related Agencies Ranking Member Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-25) released data on the estimated number of veterans fired so far by Trump and unchecked billionaire President Elon Musk.
“Our veterans make significant sacrifices in service of our country, but those sacrifices do not seem to matter to President Trump and unchecked billionaire Elon Musk,” said Appropriations Committee Ranking Member Rosa DeLauro. “They are an essential part of our federal workforce, bringing their expertise to every single agency. Republicans are turning their back on them, allowing Musk to fire at least 6,000 veterans and leave them with no way to feed their families or keep a roof over their heads. This move should outrage anyone who respects our veterans and servicemembers and believes our promises to them should be upheld. We have repeatedly asked the Trump administration for additional information on the exact number of veterans they have fired and what they plan to do to support them. The American people deserve answers.”
“Trump and Musk have launched an unwarranted and unjustified attack on the veterans and military spouses who sacrificed so much for all of us. By upending their lives and careers, these groundless firings are a disgraceful assault on heroes who admirably served our country. It is deeply offensive that this Administration would attempt to balance our budget on the backs of our veterans,” said Appropriations Subcommittee on Military Construction and Veterans Affairs and Related Agencies Ranking Member Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
The fact sheet can be found here, which details how many veterans Donald Trump and Elon Musk have fired so far.
The federal government is the single largest employer of veterans in this country, making up 30 percent of the nearly 2.3 million civilian federal workforce. The so-called “Department of Government Efficiency’s” (DOGE) stated goal to eliminate 75 percent of the federal workforce could mean that up to 500,000 veterans could lose their jobs.
This analysis is an estimate based on publicly available sources. The Administration has failed to respond to any questions requesting details about the firings.
DeLauro and Wasserman Schultz will periodically update this information as more veterans are fired.
Second, where was the lefty meltdown when real devastation hit? I’m talking about private-sector bloodbaths that dwarf these government desk-jockeys who churn out nothing but hot air and red tape. Useless bloat we’d be better off without. What, you want to keep tossing cash at them to sip coffee and shuffle papers forever?
Funny how the outrage was crickets back then. Remember these gems? Did you sob for government rescues or clutch your pearls over “rights” to dead-end jobs?
Citigroup, December 2012: 11,000 axed. JPMorgan Chase, February 2013: 17,000 gone. Hewlett-Packard, September 2015: 30,000 dumped.
That’s just a tasty appetizer of the glaring hypocrisy the splintered Democrat circus trots out to rile up the rubes. They’ll clutch at any straw to keep the gravy train chugging along for their sacred fraud and waste.
Pathetic thing is, it still hooks a dwindling posse of dimwits on the ragged edge of their fading party. Thank God most Americans see through the sham. The jig’s up, and the sane majority’s laughing.
