Not a fucking chance - unless he cuts all unemployment benefits (and most of those are at the state level anyways) he’s just ballooning the debt.
The US already has high unemployment, this is unlikely to impact starting wages even after these folks run out of unemployment.
Also, IIRC, getting fired like this can essentially give you a sweetheart deal on your retirement pensions especially if you resume government work. It’ll depend on the specific department, union, and position, though.
Stupid question - What happens to all the people he’s firing? Isn’t he just creating an unemployment crisis?
yes
Crisis or opportunity for “job creators” to hire at lower wages?
