5. Forget the tariffs, this is going to have real ramifications on economies

Local economies. The hiring freeze and lay offs of probationary period employees (2 years apparently) is just bad management, you need people to replace and learn from experienced knowledgeable career types.

Northern Virginia and the Commonwealths tax base is going to be hurt greatly. Many local economies either completely rely on Fed money or substantially do. Killeen Texas (Fort Cavazos formerly Hood) wouldn’t exist without DoD money. Tidewater VA likewise. Medical research at Duke and UNC Chapel Hill will be decimated with the overhead cuts. All these salaries buy homes cars meals etc so their is a spreading effect.

This is a direct shot at middle class jobs.
