[quote=Anonymous]This debate about laying off the federal workforce is stupid and clearly meant to be a distraction and scare tactic.  Is their government waste?  Sure, just as any large organization has waste and inefficiency.  However that waste greatly pales in comparison to the good that government civil service workers perform daily.

The U.S.A. is a trillion dollar economy.  The fact that every four years we elect someone (potentially new) to head this Republic and have managed to do so without destroying it is a feat and is in large part due the federal workforce.  As they are what continues and bridges knowledge between administrations regardless of politics.  They are the ones who read all the lines of Congress’s legislation and then point out ambiguities and contradictions and also help implement programs and plans.

Now you have folks who have spent their lives not in service of the American people but in service of seeking the greatest profit from the American people in charge of the republic.  Is this what people voted for? Yes.    But one must question why these same folks seem really interested in getting rid of those who spend their lives in service of the American people and as guardrails against tyranny, chaos and confusion regardless of who is in office.

Meanwhile many in Congress seem to be staying there longer and longer while getting richer and richer and forcing our government institutions to pay ridiculous cost to private institutions.  Maybe just maybe it’s not the civil service workers who are the problem.[/quote]
