#1 So sad. Not enough staff left over to go fuc& with 85 year old farmers by trying to take over the use of their land because the EPA says the farmers have "changed" how they use their land because they have to leave their fields to lay fallow every now and then.

Burn in he77.

#3 The really fun part? Unless these hacks go to an equivalent state bureaucracy, they're in for a very, very tough time trying to find work (real work, that is) in the dreaded private sector. Believe me, I know - it may have been the most difficult thing I did professionally.

#10 This will be a painful transition for many, but it is necessary for the survival of the nation. It is called "culling the herd."

#11 Just remember they had no problem 'downsizing' the military by the tens of thousands. Circa 1940 - A million plus man Army. Circa 1993 - 750,000, Today sub 500,000. What missions demands/commitments have been reduced? Now, see if the other bureaucracies can do the same.

#12 oops, damn fingers today - Circa 1970, not 1940.
