I don't know what you do for the federal gov't, and perhaps your position is one that is truly necessary and beneficial, but most Americans KNOW that about 50% -- at least -- of federal workers, SHOULD BE CUT LOOSE FOR GOOD!
The Federal Gov't is a bloated pig, sucking the life blood out of the working taxpayers, and if it takes a default to correct this march toward a totalitarian state, then bring it on!
Did you know that each Congress person receives about $1.2 MILLION dollars of taxpayer money, in addition to their salary, just to HELP them do their job? Think drivers, cooks, personal trainers, first class travel, $1,000 dinners, and interns under the desks. DO YOU THINK THIS IS RIGHT?
