I want a new government.

I seriously want to fire everyone in our government right now. I am so sick of the political games and name calling. I swear the 2-year-olds at DS's school behave better than them.

The sequestration means I'll be furloughed one day of each week beginning mid-April until Congress actually does something. It makes me not want to go back to work, since we are still going to be expected to complete all tasks on time and on budget, only with 20% less time and 20% less money. All because a bunch of supposedly well-educated people can't figure out how to balance a budget. I wish I got away with running huge deficits every month. I wouldn't have to work at all anymore!

End vent. Thanks for letting me get that out.

Re: I want a new government.

  • This current political BS doesn't affect me directly, but I am 100% with you on this. Why not make Congress work with a drastic pay cut? Or better yet, don't pay them at all until they can figure this out? Yeah, that will never happen.

    I am so sorry for you, or military, and other government employees that the government just shat upon.

  • It is a bunch of BS in my opinion.My agency is exempt and I feel very blessed for that, but others that we work with are not. There are huge implications that are not even clear yet.... Unfortunately, congressional pay is protected by the Constitution so not paying them is not an option. Sorry that you and your family have to go through this. :(
