No. My comment is from the fact that your statement has nothing to do with this thread, and it would appear you posted on the wrong thread . Ergo.... thread wander.
The Executive branch allows either the eve off or they permit an hour of compensated personal leave on the eve of most federal holidays. It’s been that way as long as I can remember and my federal service goes back to the early 90s.
Certainly your not setting up a straw man argument by accusing me of doing something I didn’t do. You wouldn’t do that, of course.
freefall, nothing like it is now, we’re facing a disaster with this spending and even obama said that but I guess for the obama cult obama can do no wrong
When Dubya did it in 2001, it was just 3 months after 9/11...just sayin'.
Let's save our fire for larger issues.
The agency I work for announced earlier that employees would be allowed to leave 3 hours early on Monday. Roughly 3/4 of my floor was already out on leave.
I'll gladly use the time to recharge...2013 is going to be even busier for the work I do. Roughly 700 banks are on the Troubled Bank List (down from 900), and higher taxes are going to make life more difficult for borrowers struggling to pay their home mortgages. The big banks are fine, as they can go to the Fed for easy money, not so for smaller community banks.
The FDIC has closed roughly 450 banks over the past 4 years, and there's much work to do to get the remaining assets back into the private economy.
