Fortunately, I never have any business with the federal government except, of course, when they are confiscating the fruits of my labor through their IRS. We should have “sequestration” cuts every year. Then the government would grow ever more huge at a slightly slower rate.
From your keyboard to God's screen...
Well said. I didn’t like the tone/class warfare that the conversation is taking..here and on the outside. Yes, there is waste..and if any of these agencies didn’t see this coming as an eventuality and start planning early last year then their management should be among the first to go. I came out of the defense/aerospace industry...and our top leaders were preparing a long while ago. Of course, the 0bama administration snowed them into holding off on layoff notices just before the election. They have been scaling back. When some of my activity got cut late last year, I could see the writing on the wall and volunteered for a layoff, effective last month. A little earlier than planned...but I’ll do okay. I’ve been fortunate though, and have saved for a long time..and haven’t had any surprises. I feel for those that are being played like pawns in some D.C. power struggle, though...and wish well to all affected.
