 Would love to see how that math works 
 The jobs. I have zero doubt removing wasteful spending would result in public job cuts, obviously, but not sure how you get to a number.  
 That's what I figured you might be doing.  Very pessimistic view, IMHO. Time will tell 
 I mean attributing each dollar to direct payroll cuts is flawed.  
 I think the average federal employee easily costs ~$200k.  

The average salary was over $100k, and in 2021. The average cost of benefits per employee was roughly $50k. Factor in inflation and 5.2% federal pay raise coming in January, I think $200k is easy 
 If the private sector doesn't replace these jobs, what does that tell you about the jobs?  
 We can do so much better.  
 those figures do not come close to capturing the full cost of each federal employee (both directly employed or contracted)... 
 Eh, I'd rather just get rid of them.  
 I have very little interest in benchmarking our federal spending against other countries.  America was exceptional for a reason.  We have lost the plot.  

Things that matter to me:
1) Have the States knowingly consented to The Administrative State?
2) Is Federal spending sustainable?

Like all government statistics, the BLS provided stats are a huge shell game. 
 How quickly after $90k does the coin hit $100k?  Price is right rules. Whole days only. First to guess a number gets that number. Winner gets 21000 sats
