My views are totally opposite. I am a federal worker and don't want to see my job cut, reduced or fall into the furlough's. I would like to keep my job thank you very much.

And to those out there who hope for a total demise of the federal civilian workforce, remember there are good, honest, Christian men and women who work for Uncle Sam who, while we don't agree with many of their policies or stances, still put in an honest day's work.

I can certainly understand why you would not want to see your job cut or furloughed. If you read my post you will see that I did not say “all” federal DOD jobs should be eliminated...but there are many that should be.

During my husbands 13 year active duty military career I have witnessed much waste and abuse of taxpayer dollars at the hands of DOD civilian employees. Again not all... but many.

Best of luck to you during our country’s current economic difficulty
