You think an across the board 20% reduction in government headcount is a bad policy? Corporations implement that type of thing a few times per decade. If you don't think 1 in 5 government employees should be removed (when as far as I know there has never been such an across the board cut, ever), how can it be that it is helpful for corporations a few times per decade. If corporations bloat up (as we know they do), how can it be that less demanding, less profit driven government agencies do not? You don't think the US government is more efficient than a for profit corporation, do you? At least I think we can all agree that reducing my pay is bad for the US, and increasing it is good. That's my non-partisan proposal.....
