Pentagon awash in pink slips, preparing 800,000 civilian furloughs

David and Rush have nothing to worry about.

Freepers like ducttape do.

"You people on here that support this anger me to no end. There are many good people, like myself, who will be hurt, and hurt badly, because of this. Sure, there are folks who make enough money to be able to tighten up a bit, but when folks like me, WHO BARELY NET $22,000 A YEAR, have to take a pay cut because of Obama's war on the military see you cheering this, it makes me wonder why I even patronize this website. I'm going to lose over $4,000, and you're happy? Go ahead, flame away, but I'm letting you know that this sequestration will hurt many people and all I see you doing is cheering Obama on. Sickening, absolutely sickening................ "

Indeed they do. Old farts like me can absorb a 20 percent cut, even though our miserable economy is no more my fault than an earthquake is. It won’t even affect my personal morale much, but it sure will increase my workload on the four days a week I’m allowed to work, since nobody decreased my duties. The irony is that the Colonels and contractors I work with every day will be unaffected.

Sad that our government leaders don’t care about fixing the real problems eroding our economy.

At some point one has to draw a line in the sand.

Will some get hurt for real....probably. As bad as they suggest, I doubt it.

We are past the point for action and Ducktape needs to find a new gig.
