re: Any gov't employees worried about furloughing?

No doubt government needs to be slashed by at least half. Between the early and ridiculous retirements and the fact that we have so many who are corrupt, it's time to cut the fat and cut our losses so less people are in position to be corrupt. Today's government is all about making their jobs easier with higher pay. The people have to be out in force just to beat the numbers in a tax hike election. Too many government employees voting yes on all new taxes. Today's politicians also concentrate too much on social issues. We just need infrastructure and national defense. Leave everything else up to the people. STOP SENDING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO PEOPLE LIKE IRVIN MAYFIELD (though he is one grain of sand on the corruption beach).
