Here's How Many Government Jobs MAGA Cut In Kansas City

Admittedly . . . Back when the firing first started we were basically outmatched by conservatives cheering the removal of government waste. 

But then . . .

The "Big Beautiful Bill" passed by the Republican majority came in with an EPIC 3 TRILLION deficit over 10 years and all of the so-called fiscal hawks had to vote for it while holding their nose. Basically, NOBODY inside the Beltway has any credibility when it comes to reducing the national debt and the discussion of financial responsibility in D.C. became another bad joke.

At the local level . . .

The only real impact we've noticed is a slightly lower standard of living, more empty storefronts and cheaper gas because more broke-ass people literally aren't going anywhere. Sorry, but TKC challenges anyone to look around on KC streets or even the suburbs and show much evidence of an "American Golden Age" underway. 

To be fair . . . 

We're certain that Venezuela might have defeated the U.S. if the former Veep would have won the election.

But all of that is just silly theory . . .

Here's a better look at the numbers in an admittedly progressive report . . .  

"As Donald Trump celebrated his presidential victory, the Office of Personnel Management counted more than 2.3 million federal employees around the country for the year 2024. More than 80% of them worked outside the nation’s capital, including communities in metro Kansas City and across Missouri and Kansas.

"When DOGE got to work on Jan. 20, 2025 – Inauguration Day – Missouri’s federal workforce amounted to 29,925 and Kansas’ numbered 11,287. Between Day One of the Trump administration and November 2025, the DOGE cuts reduced Missouri’s federal workforce by 13% and Kansas’ by 15%. Data from the Bureau of Labor shows the Kansas City metro lost about 2,800 federal jobs, or about 10% of the area’s federal workforce."
