Good point anon. If our Federal workers are anything like my state workers, you have a couple of workers busting their butts and all the others walking around with a coffee or a file(to look busy). The fact that so many are at home on furlough demonstrates that many of those positions are unnecessary. Very few have an outlook of saving any money for the government; at least half IMO are merely interested in having a seat at the trough.
Obviously, I'm talking civilian jobs.
