Life’s Tough! There are no guarantees in life . . . .

 

“The idea that government employment should be an iron rice bowl, a job for life, is historically a new one.  For example, the military traditionally has had reductions in force after every war, with people who wanted to stay in either thrown out, or taking steep reductions in rank to stay in.  The idea that we should feel sorry for people who are losing their jobs, a common occurrence in the private sector, because they work for the government strikes me as an example of the upside down thinking that has landed this country in thirty-six trillion dollars of debt.”
