And many of the people I've talked to among different agencies are taking this offer. Those that were sort of close to retirement, for example December and the like.

So wait, is this dumb bitch expecting us to believe these people are forgoing their entire retirement for a few months pay? Or does she expect us to believe that retiring them a few months early and saving one or two months pay (basically fucking pennies) is saving significant government money? I genuinely don't know what else she could mean.

I guess that's what they do though. Throw out useless anecdotes, say it's a good thing, and let the user generate feelings based off it while having no idea what it actually means.
