In a sane government, public employees would never get ‘bonuses’ as long as the unemployment number was above zero...........
I too have a history of working in a government environment. When it comes to appropriations, you either spend it or you lose it. What GSA did was not unusual in the policy of today’s federal government. I learned early on that the government is not run like business and business is certainly not run like government. Business seeks a profit, government could care less. Government is not set up to save money. It’s the last thing they want to do. That is why I am scared about Romney and anxious to hear how he is going to go about things. Changing things in a business environment is one thing but a government environment is totally different. Romney needs to stop spending time on all the decoys like the reid tax thing and start explaining what he intends to do and how he is going to get results or my vote is going libertarian.
