But the economy won’t be great after the terrorist hit us again. In fact, when it happens, don’t be surprised how fast you are going to lose your job.

I work in the Defense Industry. Have my whole career since Grad school which was after my active duty time (after which I was a Reservist, then a Guardsman, and then a Reservist again). I'll be losing my job, (again BTW, I also got Clintonsized in '98) well before the next attack, unless it comes sooner than I anticipate.

Just yesterday now (7th) we had a briefing by the Commanding General of the command I support. Before all this, they were to lose 5% of their civilian slots, and 10% of their direct support contractor slots. Plus a good sized cut in developement contracts. They'd already lost more military slots than that over the last year or two.

I shudder for the future, both mine and my country's.
