But I am pretty sure it does not address the automatic spending cuts at the end of the year, for better or worse.
Watching Republicans whine about these cuts they voted for in the bill they praised, and now saying that defense government jobs keep the economy going after 2+ years of saying gubment jobs HURT the economy, is too much.
I watched Michelle Bachman last night...she voted against it.
It also doesn’t say this helps at all with sequestration... we are so screwed. We need adults back in charge.
Not every government job is a bad job. And just because it’s a job in the defense industry doesn’t make it a good one. But generally speaking, I think there is a huge difference between jobs that support the defense of our country (one of the fundamental reasons for having a federal government) and jobs that provide bureaucratic staffing for functions that should not be part of the federal government. Those would include anything in the education department, HHS, and many more.
Seeing how things have turned out, I’d be inclined to eliminate TSA, DHS (sounded like a good idea at the time), most of the agencies that are currently in the news for buying ammunition (or at least the armed branches of them), and any federal agency that is involved in personal and private matters, such as child “protection” services, dietary dictators, etc.
And while I’m at it, I’ve long been in favor of eliminating the IRS. Top of my list, in fact.
