“So I'm not talking about firing or terminating anybody, but we've got about 400,000 workers about ready to retire. President Obama has increased the federal workforce 192,000 individuals about 10% since he's taken office, while We've lost 2 million jobs.

That would save a quarter of a trillion dollars.” (01:54–01:56)
