Rich McCormick: “My understanding is when you say you have this many employees that you have to cut, that organization decides who to cut”

The question is, do we give people time to adjust to their lives? And I think that’s my biggest concern, is that we’re being compassionate.

If we have layoffs at the [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention], some people are going to be affected.

This idea of the American dream where we are the best country in the world — which I believe we are – will be gone and it’ll be our fault, so we have to do something right now to address it.

Anything you leave for them will be used against us.
