Jennings on Claims of DOGE Layoffs Destroying Kansas: ‘How Many American Cities Need a Massively Oversized Federal Gov’t to Stay Afloat?
This is a modal window.
EXCERPT:
FINNEY: "I‘m talking about when the rubber meets the road. I‘m talking about, for example, Kansas City, 30,000 government employees might be laid off. It will destroy the economy of Kansas City. That‘s okay?"
O'LEARY: "Why do you say that?"
FINNEY: "I — because I‘m reading what the individuals from Kansas City have been saying, that they‘re very concerned."
O'LEARY: "What do you think they‘re going to say when they‘re going to get whacked?"
FINNEY: "Of course they‘re going to say that. But my point is, do we think that‘s smart, to leave an American city just go under?"
JENNINGS: "How many American cities need a massively oversized federal government to stay afloat? I mean, isn‘t that said more about the city than the government?"
JONES: "But when did we get to the point where presidents are measuring themselves by how many people they put out of work, instead of how many people they get jobs for?"
JENNINGS: "And not a moment too soon."
JONES: "Yeah, this is crazy. This is absolutely — "
JENNINGS: "Because the government only ever gets bigger, never smaller."
