Why do you keep using the bureaucrat-speak referring to “gutting” when it is over 10 years?

What a surprise. A bunch of bureaucrats proclaiming the end of the world, or worse should their budgets get cut.

So I suppose the 2,000,000 jobs cut are also over 10 years, just like the cuts in the budget?

so that’s only 200,000 jobs next year. We’re actually doing better than the rule-of-thumb.

For once, an upside for overcompensated government employees and contractors. We save even MORE money than we would compared to the private sector.

All of these guys who claim “gutting” should be fired and replaced with capable people who are not willing to lie to the American people simply to protect their budgets like these guys are doing.

So, what can we do with $500B? Nothing?

LOL...

the 2 million job figure came from the Defense Industry, most of them quoting the same study.

These are the guys that can’t manage to get anything done with $500B.

Can you give me anything else?
