The U.S. Institute of Peace building is seen in Washington, Monday, March 20, 2017. Deep cuts throughout the federal bureaucracy and the outright elimination of 19 independent agencies would have a major impact on the economy of the Washington region. Tens of thousands of federal employees would lose their jobs if President Donald Trump’s initial budget proposal became law, putting the regional economy at risk of a recession, experts say. The cuts would reverberate throughout the city, with fewer people riding the already-beleaguered Metro subway or eating at restaurants. It would also be a blow to the city’s already-shaky market for office space.
