[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I worked 10 years in the best job I ever had at a small Legislative Branch Agency that was world renowned for the quality of our work. But the Republican Revolution in 1994 defunded us. Not abolished, that would take a law. They just zeroed out our appropriation. It was under $50 million a year. Our work, even mine, is still cited as authoritative. We were forward looking for the long term. Congress wanted a sound bite for next election and chose lobbyists as sources. I got another job right away but mourned. For 10 years I had gotten out of metro, looked down the street at the Capitol, and my soul went yesssss! Being thrown away like trash hurt. But we survived. [/quote] OTA! Thank you for your service. [/quote]
