Is DC … going to become Detroit? That’s the fear as President Trump moves to slash the workforce. We’re talking to two people about what the big national news of the week means for our city. Emilia Calma from the DC policy center studies the local economy and is here to talk about the impact of possible federal cuts on the health of the region. And the Washington Post’s Aaron Wiener has spent the week talking to federal employees and is here to talk about how they’re feeling about the president’s efforts to buy them out.
