I wonder what Obama refers to when he cites "civilian" federal employees and wonder why it doesn't cover all employees except the military. Will he mean all uniformed, whether actually law enforcement or not will be exempt? I would love to see the specifics on that line of jive. Has he actually made a proposal to congress?

EURO BAILOUTS COULD LEAVE US BANKRUPT SAYS GERMANY Monday November 29,2010 By Daily Express reporter express.co.uk PANIC spread across the eurozone yesterday as the EU debt crisis sparked fears over Germany. Europe’s biggest economy is at risk of going bankrupt if it is forced to keep bailing out stricken nations. Credit Default Swaps measuring risk on German, French and Dutch bonds have surged, prompting fears that they could be swallowed up by debt. "Germany cannot keep paying for bailouts without going bankrupt itself,” Professor Wilhelm Hankel, of Frankfurt University, said yesterday. “This is frightening people. They have terrible memories of 1948 and 1923 when they lost their savings.” Reports that the EU wants to double its €440billion (£373billion) rescue fund have caused outrage in Germany. Brussels has denied it, but fears are growing that the European Financial Stability Facility is not big enough to bail out Ireland, Portugal and Spain. Portugal insists it does not need a bailout and the European Commission has denied that one is being prepared. But eurozone states want Lisbon to seek aid to avoid a crisis in Spain, which is heavily exposed to Portugal.
