Do it again    It will take chaos to pull the pigs from the trough[/quote]who are you talking about?

That air traffic controller who brought you safely home on your last flight, the CDC scientist who tracks infectious disease outbreaks, the NOAA scientists who warn you of impending storms, the FDA employee who ensures the drugs you take are safe, the EPA official who has reduced the amount of mercury you breathe in over the last couple of decades, the park ranger who welcomes you to our national monuments and parks, the USDA scientist who is trying to help farmers deal with crop disease, the economists at BLS, the Fed and Commerce who produce data and analyses that helps businesses and financial firms make informed decisions, prosper and by extension your 401k grow. All the watchdog agencies that keep you safe at work, on the road and warn you about dangerous or fraudulent products.

I haven’t even mentioned the workers who work in national defense and justice which constitutes 2/3 of the federal budget [/quote]

This!

Well said.  Clearly the "pigs from the trough" commenter is clueless/ignorant/taking way too much for granted.[/quote]
