A couple of years back Sean Hannity was suggesting a one cent per dollar per fiscal year across the board cut in all government agency funding. It would have wiped out the debt in ten years, IIRC.

Well, it's not as bad as what one former Justice Department attorney told me about life inside the DOJ -- that under-utilized $200K/yr lawyers sit there all day looking at porn on their computers -- but it's bad enough. But, but, but if you watch MSNBS, ABC, NBC and CBS all the furloughed workers are making fifty thousand a year and have three starving children at home...

Why don’t the Feds install filtering software to prevent access to these sites? MY COMPANY DOES.
These sites make computers susceptible to malware/adware and viruses.

The private sector won’t have employees who expect their employers to pay them for breathing....
I suspet that’s why so many bureaucrats are terrified of RIFting.

Needs to start with a MINIMUM of 20% cut-—& follow it every 6 months with another 10% cut. After 4 cycles of this, you have a 60% cut. 20 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 60%

The only agency I personally worry about is the Coast Guard. They need to be reclassified as essential and get their pay status returned. They were moved into Homeland Security and I would consider their function as essential.

Why are the Coast Guard and Air Traffic Controllers not funded? Theyre NOT non-essential. Tell Congress to take them out of Homeland Security and put them in DoD.

Shutdown governments worldwide! It is the quickest and easiest way to decrease CO2 production. It can happen over night people. We dont even have the 10 years Al Gore warned about 18 years ago. Save the Earth. Think of all the horned toads getting over heated people !

Now, in the midst of this shutdown, our country is again at that perpetual road fork between capitalism and socialism. This is ironic in that socialism, as evidenced by Venezuela, is suffering one of its most drastic defeats ever in what was once the wealthiest country on its continent. It's hard to see how anyone could believe in that system anymore and yet, due in great part to our abysmally biased educational system, a whole generation seems bent on reinventing not the wheel but the sinkhole.They will learn, but some - I'm thinking of true believers like AOC - will not.
