The so-called Department of Government Efficiency’s efforts to bulldoze federal agencies and slash the federal workforce will ultimately cost American taxpayers billions of dollars, according to a watchdog group.
At the Internal Revenue Service, more than 11,000 people were either fired or took buyouts. Just this year, it’s estimated that roughly $500 billion in revenue will be lost because of the cuts, according to the report from Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.
