As for the Brits. Those layoffs will come over the next two years. It's a start.
As for 'firing all the damn Govt employees' meme - just remeber that next time you stand in line for 4 hours at the DMV.... cutting where needed and possible, yes - wholesale cuts, maybe not so much.
DMV is local government. Other than our military, we only need about 5,000 federal workers.... if that many.
Think of the federal cost savings!
