Its an interesting take.
With all of the bump and retreat protections, though, its not the bureaucrats that end up leaving. Its the junior guys that havent been around long enough to bump someone else that end up out of a job.
For instance, within my office I could bump just about anybody beneath me, or retreat to a previously held position. Since I have held many different positions in my nearly 20 years, I would have options.
in war I would guess taking out any of the opponents is a helpful thing.
In this situation, of non-essential workers, most of those people should never have been hired in the first place.
Wouldn't that mean that it's mostly Obamabots that would get the boot?
