Vivek Ramaswamy vows to fire federal workers based on Social Security numbers: ‘Nothing will break’

Republican presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy unveiled his plan to drastically cut the the size of the federal government over the weekend — announcing he would fire workers based on their Social Security numbers.

In a post on X Sunday, Ramaswamy said that if he were elected the next commander-in-chief of the United States, he would “instantly fire 50% of federal bureaucrats.”

“Here’s how: if your [Social Security number] ends in an odd number, you’re fired,” he wrote.

“That downsizes government by half. Absolutely *nothing* will break as a result,” Ramaswamy claimed.

The 38-year-old biotech entrepreneur argued that the plan would not violate civil service rules “because mass layoffs are exempt” and would prevent government employees from claiming their firings were politically motivated.

“Further firings can be executed with a chisel, but Step 1 needs to be an unrestrained chainsaw or else it just won’t happen,” Ramaswamy argued. (A blogger I know presented a similar proposal last year.)

If, as seems likely as of now, Trump wins the nomination and goes on the regain the presidency, I hope he won’t hesitate to lift this idea from Ramaswamy.
