GOOD NEWS! Government making real, tangible cuts to federal spending
« on: October 19, 2011, 05:32:46 PM »
All of Colorado's full-time, federally reimbursed technicians will have their positions eliminated NLT 01 September 2012.

That will be over 400 personnel.

This is in spite of the fact that the state just grew an entire infantry battalion and its footprint is expanding from ~600,000 sq. ft to over ~1.1 million sq. ft.

I hear the IRS will need several ten-thousand agents to get the American people to knuckle-under for ObamaCare, maybe they'll just transfer me over there.

Having a federal job is like being in the graveyard....don't worry, you ain't going no where.

 September of 2012, that's lightning speed for any government action. A lot can happen between now and then.

Here's hoping for a shit-ton of early retirements in the next 10 or so months.

Well...

Obama wants $5BN for police and firefighters and $30BN for teachers.

Soldiers don't have unions that launder money to democrat candidates and they traditionally vote GOP.

Shit. At least it's reassuring to know that Barry is setting priorities.  :p
