"A wrecking ball and destroying people’s lives for no reason.”

Summary

IRS worker Robert McCabe, a Trump voter, expressed shock after being among 7,000 laid off by DOGE, an initiative under the Trump administration led by Elon Musk.

McCabe stated DOGE is acting like a “wrecking ball and destroying people’s lives for no reason.”

The layoffs, targeting probationary employees with less than a year of service, affect hundreds at the IRS and are part of a broader effort to shrink the federal workforce.

The cuts raise concerns about impacts on tax collection during a critical season.

    I believe the only response to those who voted for, and now question Trump, is that, in your sweetest voice:

    “The president was voted in because he was to restore godliness and since you’re now suffering, it just means that you’re not a part of God’s plans.”
