Shut Down

I fully understand how much you guys hate all of us but 3 combat vets were let go today in my shop. 2 of them are board members. Just a thought since it seems that many of you seem to think we all should just put a gun in our mouth and pull the trigger because of things we have no control over. Have a nice day.

Folks getting paid by the government should be providing a benefit to the majority of people paying them. If we're paying you we should be doing it for our benefit. I don't consider tying red tape in neat bows or determining who to send tax money to a benefit. Thats the view I and many others have of gov employes, perhaps because we have little interaction and therefore see little benefit.

Don't interact with the public. All I do is take care of the troops. I also try and save your tax $$$ from contractors and salesmen that think the .gov is nothing but something to try and take advantage of for their own gain.

Just like many subjects people seem to have a view that one = all. This has come up before and it always reminds me of some KKK lynch mob. In my little world all this has done is to take away support and services for the soldiers and there families. Those of us remaining will do the best we can. I will just leave it at that.

I have issues with some .gov agency's as well. I just got my tax return yesterday that was filed on time. Should I go on a rant about all govt workers should be fired? So one person has an issue with a car repair should we all go out and find the first dealership and kill all the mechanics?

Just a thought as I will abstain from further posting on the topic.
