Steve, how did Bush cause you to lose your job? Or was there no cause & effect?

I work for the federal government as well, and it would be easy to cut 25% out of the budget, get rid of no bid contracts! they have all but eliminated civil service, and turned everything over to contractors. There are more contractors in the war zone then soldiers! and the average pay for them is
$1020,000 That's insane! in Vietnam we had the highest level of civilian contractors in any war until now and it was only 20% of troop levels, now its 150% and its all no bid no oversight!.
