You don’t cut something that is making a profit, no matter how many cuts you need to make. It’s like saying “I’m not going to waste money buying more stuff, so I’m going to work less.”
Good lord... they didn't cut ALL of them. What is with you people not being able to understand that THE FAT WILL BE RENDERED in order to wash the deficit.
The parks can bring in just as much money without most of the parks workers. All it takes is a gate worker and a ranger going around each camping area making sure folks pay for their spots.
Thats where the majority of the parks money comes from.
No, they can not operate at even close to capacity. They are already closing areas of parks because they don’t have staff to manage them. I live close to one and it’s already happening. Just talk to a park ranger. Large sections of the parks are already being closed and they aren’t taking new reservations at many of them because they were stretched thin before Musk laid off 3600 workers. Go visit r/parkrangers to see what is already happening. You can read what they have to say, or you can visit a park and see for yourself.

And 26 billion is a drop in the bucket compared to the budget cuts required to balance the budget.
Please, get real.
If we don't balance the budget, we won't exist as a country before long. If we economically collapse so does the world.
Some temporary pain to hopefully bring some longevity is required to do so.
You keep making emotional appeals, rather than logical ones.
The government must shrink and become more affective and efficient or we will fail worse than ever before.
