The Trump administration intends to reduce federal budgets and agency sizes through a top-down approach, exemplified by significant cuts at USAID and the Education Department. This strategy is paired with a bottom-up review that limits new contracts and halts payments, impacting contractors significantly. TechnoMile's analysis shows that a large percentage of USAID contractors are at high risk due to their dependence on a single agency. Experts warn that the pressure from these policies might also affect contractors in other civilian agencies, although key departments like Homeland Security might not face the same scrutiny.
They're coming top-down at some agencies and they're basically collapsing them to the minimum allowed by law.
Traditional reformers try to shrink budgets by cutting programs, but the Trump administration is actually undertaking a pincer maneuver.
It's terrifying. They wake up in the morning and their industry is gone.
The effect of DOGE will be felt throughout the agency structure.
