The sequester B.S. is supposed to be 85 million in cuts right?
That's a whopping 2 to 3 percent of current spending.
This is all B.S. they are playing games.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1165448 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.
