Meridith McGraw: ‘Some of Those Cost-Cutting Measures’ Will Affect Federal Jobs and Wages

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
BAIER: “Meredith, Kimberley Strassel in the “Wall Street Journal,” writes the GOP’s Doge test, what everyone knows even if most won’t say is that waste, fraud, and abuse that Doge is tackling is gravy. The easy first targets are the woke, the indefensible. What everyone also knows even if most won’t say this isn’t where the real money is, meaning doge won’t succeed without congressional GOP grit, a reality Republicans are studiously ignoring. Interesting, and you wonder how that’s going to play out on Capitol Hill considering what Amy just said.”
MCGRAW: “We have seen how Republicans have praised some of the cost-cutting measures that Elon Musk and his team has made but, at a certain point some of those cost-cutting measures that they are making is going to run up with people’s constituencies at home whether that’s the programs that people get from the federal government or it’s federal employment and real wages and jobs from people.”
