FAA sent some out already. Why now shut down IRS?
Fine.
When will they be sending them out to the Dept. Of Homeland “Security”, the EPA, the Dept. of “Education”, the TSA, OSHA, the Dept. of Labor, the EPA, the IRS, the EPA, the Dept. of Health and Human Services, the EPA and the EPA?
But the military (at 18% of the budget) must take 50% of all Sequestration cuts.
TRICARE will not have enough money for active duty and veteran care and will stop some payments to providers.
Tuition assistance for our active duty eliminated. Civilian DoD employees in all areas (maintenance, healthcare, operations, intelligence) furloughed and taking a 20% pay cut.
DoD teachers furloughed.
Family support programs for dependents of deployed members have funding slashed.
Operations and Maintenance accounts for all services reduced by up to 50%.
Meanwhile.....
Fifteen Percent of Americans Use Food Stamps
America is quickly decaying into one giant Welfare hell hole.
“800,000 civilian employees”
Let’s see......roughly 20,000 Soldiers in a Division......what’s that, 40 Divisions? I’ll bet they vote Democrat.
Why any furloughs if they are receiving more this year than last?
Many military budget problems are self inflicted. For example wasting money on “Climate Change” research, “bio -fuels” boondoggling, celebrating Black History Month, etc.
Remember DOD employees are also government employees!
FOrtunately, about 20% of their pay is benefits, and their benefits will not be affected by the furlough.
