David Cox said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;All it will do is increase our dependence on more expensive and less regulated private-sector contractors, and push more of the burden onto state and local governments that are struggling under the weight of unfunded mandates.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The National Treasury Employees Union President Tony Reardon said in a statement that the cuts will drastically impact the government\u2019s ability to provide essential services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Reports that the new administration will propose deep and indiscriminate budget cuts across multiple federal agencies should be alarming not just to those in the civil service but to taxpayers everywhere,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Federal workers we represent are worried about their jobs and about the ability of their agencies to carry out their missions under such austere conditions: making sure our air and water are clean; inspecting new foods and medicines; shutting down financial scams that prey on consumers; maintaining our national parks; and safeguarding nuclear materials, just to name a few.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reardon reiterated NTEU&#8217;s earlier call for its membership to rally Congress to reject the White House\u2019s spending plan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The White House&#8217;s anticipated budget is said to include unprecedented layoffs for federal
