Do I care if IRS workers miss a paycheck? Does anyone? Does anyone care if TSA loses a paycheck?
I know what you are saying. But the Coast Guard is in this group. They need to be moved to the Navy Department and out of Homeland Defense. After all, in wartime they do submarine hunting, provide protection to convoys, mann landing craft on invasions, small boats on the Vietnam rivers, etc. They are presently at the forefront of our war on drugs. They confiscate enough drugs in one year to pay for the entire CG force in any year.
