[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a fed too, but let's be real the government couldn't continue functioning at the level it has been.  It sucks some of us will be laid off, furloughed, etc, but I don't feel right asking others to get a tax raise so people in DC can keep getting nice paychecks.  Not to mention a lot of federal agencies have been abusing the system for years.  The money train had to come to an end eventually.  Hopefully people stacked some savings.  [/quote]

I have to say that I agree and I'm in a position that benefits from Fed spending (not contractor) and my DH is a contractor.

You have to become numb and indifferent to the waste you see on a daily basis or else it will drive you crazy.  The spending and the whole antiquated process in how contracts are bid and awarded is just waiting to implode. I personally think implosion (Greek Style) is still a few years away, but surely the pain will be long and slow leading up to it. I think the party is winding down. We've all be living off the fat here in the land of milk and honey, but like all good things, it has to come to an end.

Sequestration is just another stupid idea, it is a shame that they could not have implemented something thoughtful and approached spending and savings in a more thoughful manner.

On a good note, for those of you looking for housing, it is probably going to get a lot cheaper over the next few years. If you have a stable job there might be some good homes you can get for a steal. :?[/quote]
