You could fire the entire federal government and it would barely make in a dent in our march to be Greece!
It's entitlements ! (and the entitlement mentality!)
Not federal employees that are the problem!

You are right about entitlements. EVERYTHING else pales in comparison, ENTs are THE financial killer, so it is true that feds are not THE problem, but paying illiterate bums huge sums with great benefits to sleep at their desks all day every day (slight exageration, sure) is A problem, believe me.

The theory is that if you whack the employees then the government can't spend money.
That, of course, is a remarkably stupid belief. Social Security, for instance, is operated mostly by the computers!
Now, are entitlements the problem? Depends on what you mean by an entitlement.
The problem is SPENDING.
