Vance warns ‘deeper’ cuts ahead for federal workers as shutdown enters 12th day

(Oct. 13) Vice President JD Vance is warning of deeper cuts to the federal workforce the longer the government shutdown goes on. Vance spoke Sunday as the shutdown entered its 12th day. He warned that the new cuts would be “painful,” even as he said the Trump administration is working to ensure that the military would be paid and some services would be preserved for low-income Americans, including food assistance. Hundreds of thousands of workers have been furloughed in recent days. In a court filing on Friday, the White House said well over 4,000 employees would soon be fired. Vance said the new cuts would be “painful.” The post Vance warns ‘deeper’ cuts ahead for federal workers as shutdown enters 12th day appeared first on MinnPost.
