“Sequester” Federal Government Cuts!


“Sequester” Federal Government Cuts!

Deep cuts loom over the Federal Government because our great leaders cannot come to an agreement on a budget! Of course the President is trying to frighten the American people into believing the world will end! It won’t! He’s no better than Chicken Little screaming that the sky is falling, and we all know how that ends! There are by all counts between 2.7 to 3.0 million civilian Federal employees. (If you add in State, Local you come up with over 22 million government employees in the US, jeez!) There has been talk of cuts of about 700,000 people because of the so called “Sequester’!   If this happens then just like in the private sector others will have to pick up the slack or some departments will have to go! Also the government has the ability to make sure planes won’t fall out of the sky and crooks won’t be running rampant through the streets even though the President opened the gates for some illegal aliens trying to scare us again!  If the federal government does not have the money to pay then they have to adjust. They can’t just keep taking our money! Also have you really looked at the federal government? It contains over 500 Departments, Agencies, Boards, Offices, Councils, Bureau’s, and so on and so on that contains over 3 million employees! I would suggest there is such redundancy and overlaps its ridiculous! I think we could get rid of 1 million and the world would not fall apart! Also, let these Government employees come out in the cold with the rest of us civilians! Now they will have to get their own insurance, forgo their lucrative retirement packages and even have to pay SS Tax!  It’s about time don’t you think!?
