What, no furlough notifications to one of the three White House calligraphers? Or at the very least, consolidating such lettering with the Department of State?
Seriously, just fire the lot of the OMB. When was the last time that the White House produced a budget that received more than 10 votes in the Senate? Seems like everyone there is redundant.

They should start by cutting Chewbacca’s “staff.”

What is this furlough? I bet they don’t lose and pay at all.

Does anyone actually think the Budget will be Managed less effectively with fewer people spending fewer hours in the Office?
To: Sub-Driver
I wonder if Barry’s two kids are on the furlough list.

Exactly, It makes me wonder why they stayed on this long as he never had a budget anyways.

Does that mean Malia and Sasha are being laid off?

The problem with today's liberals is that the only way to tell them apart from parody is that parody cannot go too far over the top. As soon as I saw the title, my first guess was April Fools - for the White House to cut spending by furloughing staffers is entirely too sensible to be real. Then I saw the numbers. No sane person would suggest that there are 480 staffers who work at the OMB; that's too exaggerated to be funny and makes for a weak parody. That's why I assume this is real.
If we're wondering why we run trillion dollar deficits year after year, it's because of bloated organizations like OMB, bloated entitlements including Social Security disability, and frivolous research. I hope the OMB and all other federal agencies will cut back to the staffing levels of Clinton's last year. That would still be far too big, but it would be a nice start.

Management and budget? LOL! Who will miss them?

Ahh so you mean Obama might actually have to do some honest work himself for once?

Didn’t many receive backpay after the govt shutdown in 95?

Re: furloughing Office of Management and Budget staffers
This is the group that dares to point out how out-of-whack spending is. Of course, they will be furloughed! Reduces the Won’s bad press, you know.

Meaningless. This isn’t a furlough. Having people take their vacation time still results in paying out the same amount of money. It doesn’t reduce anything. More Smoke and mirrors.
