A beautiful sound bite for drumming up support but completely stupid for running the government.
We do not want fewer military personnel, they're still a third of the federal payrolls. Let's not cut the border patrol either. Customs people checking imports for toxins. We either need to keep all our air traffic controllers or we need to hire gov't workers to privatize them.
Where we're going here is that if we want to lay off say, NPR announcers we really should just drop NPR completely. Let's cut programs and not workers.
