Defense Secretary Leon Panetta had the unenviable job today of informing hundreds of thousands of his civilian employees that they could be furloughed if the sequester takes effect on March 1. In a letter to the entire DoD workforce, Panetta warned that “should sequestration occur and continue for a substantial period, DoD will be forced to place the vast majority of its civilian workforce on administrative furlough.” This could impact as many as 800,000 civilian employees, which Panetta argued “will result in a serious erosion of readiness across the force.” I HOPE THEY DO IT------ it needs to be done---- just to show what an idiot POTUS is |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 18813854 Philippines02/20/2013 12:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The sequester B.S. is supposed to be 85 million in cuts right? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1165448 That's a whopping 2 to 3 percent of current spending. This is all B.S. they are playing games. What about this administration do you not understand? Are you aware that DOD was planning cuts as much as 40% across the board way back in the Bush admin? And these cuts were to go into effect after completion of the latest BRAC. Guess what. BRAC is done. So big cuts are no surprise to anyone in the military civilian workforce unless they are totally out of the loop. Many of them are dead weight double dippers or even triple dippers who are just stacking cash for the hell of it. |

What about this administration do you not understand? they're sacred zombies OP, scared zombies. most are heavily medicated and need their pills and health insurance. don't scare them by telling them the president is sending weapons to the NAZI created Muslim Brotherhood and could be part of a plan to break this nation apart, which means they would have to face nature full time and survival of the fittest. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 18813854 Philippines02/20/2013 12:02 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | But but but. Government doesn't create jobs. You should be happy for spending cuts. These spending cuts will allow the private sector to create more jobs. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 3987337 At least that's what republicans have been telling us. left/right is stupid and so are those who fall for it both parties do the same things because they are not in control |

| Jonboy64 User ID: 30856182 United States02/20/2013 12:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Nobody is losing their jobs. They are only furloughs. It will amount to 20% time off between April and September without pay. Either a few weeks unpaid vacation or something like one extra day off a week during those months, without pay. Nothing to stop them from finding something else to do to make money during the time off. |
| Shingen User ID: 33279727 United States02/20/2013 12:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Good. Government doesn't create anything but debt and misery. I'm tired of having a gun pointed at my head, forced to pay for someone else's wages. Last Edited by Shingen on 02/20/2013 12:05 PM "Anarchism is not a romantic fable but the hardheaded realization, based of five thousand years of experience, that we cannot entrust the management of our lives to kings, priests, politicians, generals, or county commissioners." - Edward Abbey "But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist." -Lysander Spooner "If they take the ship, they'll rape us to death, eat our flesh, and sew our skin into their clothing, and if we're very very lucky, they'll do it in that order." - Firefly |
