In fact, what have they done positive for this Country and Freedom, not a damn thing.
They should be forced in front of Congress to prove their existence worthy
by naming 1000, (Mark Levin Voice) That's right "One Thousand" accomplishments
that has helped America, Jobs, or helped Anything positive!

Cut every agency in government by 5 percent. Per Quarter. To much Blat and employees making more money that the private sector,
that needs to change also.
Cut them all back 100-years to when people served the People instead of themselves.

"The bureau has a total of 59.4 budgeted positions, although 9.4 are currently vacant. That would a 31% cut in total budgeted positions and a reduction of nearly 20% of the positions now filled in the bureau.
All told, Walker's budget would cut 66 positions from the DNR. Of this, more than 25% would come from the science group."
He's cutting 66 positions out of a bureau that only has 59.4 positions?
To: Cincinatus' Wife
If these budget cuts go through, the world is surely doomed.

The Earth is celebrating!

"Fifty-seven employees of the state Department of Natural Resources began receiving formal notices this week that they might face layoff . . . "
A lot of journalistic license in the headline:
1. Nobody was fired.
2. The POTENTIAL LAYOFFS did not all occur on Earth Day.

“Walker just freed up these highly skilled folks from job lock.”
They can now follow their dreams! They can work on their hobbies! They can learn to play the piano! They can start a business because Government is SO ‘business friendly!’
When our last governor, ‘Diamond Jim Doyle’ (D, WI) was going to CUT 10,000 teachers to balance the budget, we heard nary a PEEP from the unions or the teachers OR the media in our state.
When Governor Scott Walker balanced our budget without a SINGLE lay off for teachers, they acted as if it were the end of the world.
Effing’ Socialists!

“Walker’s budget would cut 18.4 positions in the Bureau of Scientific Services.
The bureau has a total of 59.4 budgeted positions, although 9.4 are currently vacant. That would a 31% cut in total budgeted positions and a reduction of nearly 20% of the positions now filled in the bureau.”
No, Dumb@ss - they would lose NINE jobs. NINE.
Big effing deal.
