Then someone need to have the balls to fire them all ... but they will need the equal amount of balls to explain the rise in unemployment to the American People and have a plan to address "their choice", not push the ramifications off to someone else who didn't make that choice.

With Government comes Governing; as John Boehner is painfully finding out.

no one realistically thinks you can fire them all in one day. You will have to scale back over a set schedule and feed these people back into the private sector. As the fed budget deflates, the private sector will pick up the slack as the economy will no doubt improve.

Clinton cut the military over 8 years in half, time to cut Govt workers in half in 4 years, 1 in 7 now work for the govt, to many takers we are paying for, they are sucking off those in the private sector to pay there way

The government is not an employment agency contrary to the belief of some people.

Then I stand by my statement ... fire them with one broad brush, and then they should stand by that decision 1000%

As I stand by mine. But the need to explain any rise in unemployment, from your statement, suggests you believe the government is an employment agnecy.

Which is it?
