The Bulwark Podcast
Alex Wagner: The Poster Child for Corruption and Grift

I do not need to live like this. I'm taking the buyout. I'm out of here. And it also, I think, fulfills, it ticks the box that Russell Vogt outlined, which is they want to traumatize federal workers.

Most of the people I talked to weren't. They'd been advised by their unions, don't do it. We can't guarantee that you're, first of all, Congress hasn't appropriated any of these funds. Like who knows what this offer is? Like it could just be a waste.

Like you each get a car. Right. And a timeshare in Florida and a salary forever. Maybe they'll make good on it. I don't know. But I also just don't think it's over. They're not done. They're not done gutting the government. That's like 4% of the government that said, yeah, I'll raise my hand for this potentially bogus offer. But then they're going to also just fire people. So it ain't over.
