Seven percent of DOT staff are taking early-buyout offers. The departures include roughly 30% of employees at agencies that deal with highway safety and mass transit.

So please explain how the deficit is worst after all those cuts. They clearly are overspending somewhere. And why isn't this as big a scandal as Epstein ?

YOU CAN'T CUT BACK ON FUNDING! YOU WILL REGRET THIS! is a catchphrase originating from the video game Sim City 2000, where it is shouted towards the player (the mayor) by the transportation advisor if he attempts to cut transit funding.
