From Joe’s post above:
“and called for federal worker pay to be based on performance and structured toward recruiting, retaining and rewarding “high-performing Federal employees and those with critical skill sets”

Yeah sounds good but the problem is we’re having issues getting and keeping high quality people when private organizations can pay them $150k for the same work we can only offer $80k for.

While I feel the industry itself is a bit bloated regarding pay vs. responsibility the whole approach of getting more with less just won’t cut it. Let’s not even get into the whole debacle of shifting the workforce to private contractors. 😕

JoeC never complained about an even more bloated Federal payroll until after Obama left. And Time Magazine is a bad joke.

What is the real problem with the deficit? Maybe we have a Congress addicted to buying votes. And although it’s unsustainable, they’ve made themselves millionaires.

BUDGET PROJECTIONS FOR FY 2018 (As of April 1, 2018 )
OUTLAYS $4.1 Trillion
REVENUES $3.3 Trillion
DEFICIT: $804 Billion
DEBT HELD BY THE PUBLIC (End of Fiscal Year) $15.7 Trillion

Here is a view of what was received vs spent in 2017:

“South and North Korea should use a single currency to form an economic union in the mid to long term, the Korea Institute of Finance (KIF)noted in a report Sunday.

“When investment increases in North Korea along with inter-Korean trade of goods and services, the flow of capital will naturally follow. It will lead to problems such as settlements and which currencies should be used,” said Lee Yoon-sok, a senior research fellow at the KIF.”
Commie Moon’s wet dream.

Hmmm.

Will South Korea fully control the single currency and have amazing safeguards against counterfitting?

No?

Hahahhahahahhahahah!

Sorry, Smokes.

10 is not thinking about all those 6 offenders.

10 is afraid because it is right in the middle of 9/11.
