Government Executive: President Trump, in his fiscal 2018 budget released Tuesday, proposed slashing workforce rolls at nearly every federal agency and making it easier to fire poor performers.
The blueprint would shed a net of just 1,000 federal workers next year, but that's only because larger reductions at most agencies would be offset with 25,000 jobs added at the departments of Defense, Homeland Security and Veterans Affairs. All other agencies, which would see their discretionary budgets reduced by $54 billion in fiscal 2018 and $1.4 trillion over the next decade, would see their workforces cut by 3 percent next year.
