“If the administration wants to save money, it should start increasing oversight over contracts and drop those that are not performing,”

We should hold him to this with all areas of the government. Drop those that are not performing. Add an ammendment to his bill to do just that.

The USA would be a lot better off if half of its government/federal employees got pink slips. Including 2/3 of the CIA.

drop those that are not performing,” Akaka said. “There is no reason that federal workers should get a pink slip for Christmas

if you break it up that way, I’d be willing to bet that the DoD did the right thing...

Yep, government is far too big. Yep, it’s still growing.

And yet this idiot doesn’t seem to realize that the current “crisis” is due to his colleagues not passing and fowarding proper funding measures for the president’s signature.

Time to stop the harping and get down to work.

Perhaps a good start would be to cancel all civilian contracts at Pearl Harbor and Hickham Field. Watch the good Senator change his tune if that were to happen.

If they think contractors are “not performing” wait til they see the productivity drop when there’s only federal employees around.

Absolutely NOTHING will get done, guaranteed.
