Obama asking for more!

[big_tiger]

This is because the Chamber of Commerce got under his skin so if he puts a bunch of agencies together, he gets to pick a new head

Sounds about right. Will the repubs end up letting this happen, again?

No, they'll say no and he'll claim they are being obstructionist

[Geor!]

I'm curious as to why you would need money to fire people. Oh yeah, undeserved pensions.

[The King]

Most of their pensions now are fully funded.

wont be long and Obama will be history. it already being priced in

That's the catch. No one would be fired. They'd just not be replaced when they retire. So he allows the job loss to be counted on someone else's numbers

What's is funny is the only group he wants to wipe out, and not merge, is the only one I have heard of.

he will re-organize the United States into the First Galactic Empire.

There is no job loss in that scenario, so whose numbers are affected?

yah basically what I said

Yah i mean i dont see how it would help. I don't see them cutting people. Maybe pensions but most are already funded. IF you consolidate its easier to circumvent policies set in by one agency already.

YOu don't see the increase in unemployment due to the cuts in the agency until the next guy comes in. Thus, you don't have him increasing the unemployment numbers during an election year, though at this rate, they'll just keep ignoring people to adjust the numbers where they want it

[Captain Crawfish]

I dont care what he wants to do he's not getting my vote! out with Odummy

Employees retiring because of cuts in the affected agencies, which is the most likely outcome if this plan goes through, will not increase unemployment numbers. Not filling a position behind a retiree wouldn't really be adding to unemployment numbers either because no one will actually be losing their job and filing for future unemployment benefits in this case.
