DOGE Slashes Federal Contracts and Jobs in Massive Government Efficiency Push Sparking Controversy and Concern

Yet, while government watchdogs like the Government Accountability Office point out the logic of trimming redundancy, the human cost has been dramatic. Business Insider reported that 216,670 federal jobs were slashed in March alone due to DOGE’s measures, and waves of resignations, retirements, and buyouts have followed through the summer. Some agencies are running skeleton crews, while morale runs low and workloads — already big — have only grown heavier. It’s a situation that leaves many loyal civil servants feeling like they've been sent to the doghouse.
The efficiency push has even wider consequences: this month, the Senate passed sweeping DOGE-led cuts stripping federal funding from institutions like PBS and NPR, along with portions of foreign aid. Public policy experts have voiced concern that aggressive, rapid-fire cuts may put fundamental government services at risk, ranging from disaster response to monthly payments for those relying on federal assistance.
Technology and security risks are surfacing too. DOGE boasts of saving millions by replacing legacy tape archives with digital backups, but experts warn this could create new vulnerabilities. And then there's the shadow of artificial intelligence; critics worry that initiatives to automate government tasks or share data with private tech companies could backfire, risking privacy, robust oversight, and even the independence of city governments if critical infrastructure becomes too privatized.
Supporters argue the savings are absolutely necessary and overdue, but as the DOGE experiment nears its seventh month, doubts—and emotions—are running high. As one veteran agency worker put it, “These are human beings… if you cut them, they bleed too.” Thanks for tuning in and don’t forget to subscribe.
