I believe this “edge of the fiscal cliff” crap is a sham to the inth degree.
I can see the headlines now, “Obama saves the nation, averting fiscal cliff disaster”.
Just feels like a facade.
The way they throw that 800,000 jobs number around sounds deceiving. They don’t say how many would be affected at any one particular time. They make it sound like 800K people are going to be thrown out of work. That’s not what a “rolling furlough” is like.
I work in the private sector, and a few years ago everybody in my company had to take a week’s unpaid furlough every quarter for a year. If I have had to do it, then I have no sympathy for the civilian employees of the military.
A jihadist’s dream come true. Bammy is “progressing.”
Let me guess though....obozo’s security detail is off limits to any cuts.
Am I close?
They should be required to target obama voters for the first layoffs they are the ones that voted for this ...
I suggest that employees of companys that are being forced to layoff should determine through campaign contribution records, car bumber stickers, workfloor chatter who in their workforce voted for Obama and formally demand that those people being the cause of the required layoff should be the first ones to go. I wonder if a person that gets laid off that voted for Romney but has identified an Obama voter who did not get laid off could get a lawyer involved for discrimnation?
Hmmmmm...no mention of the other bureaucratic alphabet-soup nightmares inside the beltway.
“The warning is much gloomier than the agency recently offered employees, as it had said there wouldn’t be an immediate impact on personnel or operations if a deal wasn’t reached by January.”
Lemme guess! The initial position by the Pentagon was taken BEFORE the election. Now that the tyrant is safely re-installed in the White House the Truth comes out. So predictable!
All because Obama wants to raise taxes!
What a shame.
These notices were supposed to have been sent out months before the election.
