  1. It's not a buy-out. In fact, Fox, write it on the whiteboard 100 times, it's not a buy-out. Federal agencies receive money on 01 October for the fiscal year that ends on 30 Sep. That's when that allocation starts. The money is already in that agency's "bank account" (so to speak) and all they have to do is dole it out every 2 weeks to their people. What he's doing is promising to continue to pay people through the end of this fiscal year, EVEN IF THEY DON'T DO ANY WORK. All they have to do is resign. In writing. They can continue to work; they can stay home, but Trump is saying they're still going to get paid through 20 September 2025. On 01 October 2025, they will no longer have a job. He's playing a numbers game, which is what Elon did with Twitter. The thinking is that if enough people quit or are fired/laid off, then efficiency can and will be improved. Maybe, maybe not. Time will tell. The last "good" number I heard was 1% of the federal workforce had agreed to the deal. These are people who are nowhere near retirement.
