Who are these unnecessary bums you speak of?

Do you mean the Federal Employees who spend their life supporting the Military? The ones who refurbish the aircraft, Navy ships and subs? The people who write and monitor the contracts to ensure that the war fighters get the products that taxpayers paid for?

Perhaps the tens of thousands of people at the IRS, who have the thankless job of going through each and every return by hand? Sure, the computers scan and file, but a human checks every small, or large company for irregularities.

Perhaps you mean Border Control and INS? Or is it TSA and the air traffic controllers? Remind me again, how many hijackings in the past 6 years? How many attempts have been made since then to smuggle weapons on board aircraft? Trust me, the answer is higher than the press reports.

You are painting every Federal Employee with a very broad brush.

Blah,Blah,Blah,if you are in a Union just say it,spare me the $ullsh$it,

Fear not, Hodar! The good people you refer to are retiring in droves, like my wife and me. The people that really do the work are predominantly over 55, and are getting damn tired at incompetent supervisors who were given promotions on the basis of "diversity."

I already left the rat race, and my wife is joining me in a few months.

one needs to know about gov’t employees can be learned at the DMV.

The Federal Government needs to shrink to 1/3 of its current bloated leviathan size. Operating Budget should be no more than 3% of GDP plus another 3-4% to pay off the debt.

We got along perfectly fine for 130 years with a Federal Gov’t that never was bigger than 3% of GDP. That’s realistic
