Agreed.
Love the J.C. Penny suit. I hope it came with a free adjustable belt.
You know what is amazing? Ashton Carter, the Deputy Defense Secretary he sparred with (who is a Democrat) is no dummy (Harvard, Oxford, Stanford). He agreed to take a 20% paycut himself because Sequestration will require all DoD civilian employees to be furloughed.
As a political appointee, he is exempt, but is going to voluntarily take the paycut anyway if Sequestration happens.
Call me crazy, but I admire that.
Most DoD civilians are not making 6 figures or even high 5 figures. Over 85% don't even work in DC. Almost half of them are veterans themselves. Many of them are like this guy:
A majority of Air Force maintenance is now civilianized. What are these guys going to do when they get a 20% paycut? I am sure their mortgage lenders will understand.
I'd like to see Obama's White House staffers, Michelle's 25 paid slaves, and every member of Congress and their staff make the same pledge.
Will.
Never.
Happen.
But would be nice to see them asked the question, and watch them squirm.
