Obama Labels
38% of Federal Employees as “non-essential”
By JB Williams
The U.S. Federal Government currently employs approximately
2.1 million workers (not including the military), 800,000 (38%) of them, now
identified as “non-essential” employees and furloughed as a result of a budget
impasse between the “Anarchist” controlled House and “Communist” controlled
Senate. If you haven’t been paying attention lately, congress is not made up of
Republicans and Democrats anymore, just anarchists and communists.
Please note that over the past five years, in which private
sector employment has remained in steady decline, the Obama Administration has
kept somewhat of a false lid on “unemployment” numbers, in part, by adding
“non-essential” public sector jobs.
After decades of bloated government intrusions into
countless unconstitutional areas via record deficit spending that has driven
our once great nation to the brink of bankruptcy with more than $17 trillion in
debt, the so-called “government shutdown” may have a silver lining.
Immediately, we learn that 38% of federal employees are “non-essential.” What?
We have 800,000 employees more than we need?
According to the Obama Administration, 800,000 federal employees
are not necessary or non-essential, although the administration changed the
terminology this morning, to “accepted and non-accepted” instead of essential
vs. non-essential. I’m sure that will help the 38% receiving furloughs this
morning as they pack up their offices and head home not knowing if or when they
can return to gainful employment.
To be clear, my heart goes out to the families of 800,000
federal workers who should have sought gainful employment in the productive
private sector instead of betting the farm on a government position, which has
drained the nation of its private sector prosperity.
It turns out Margaret Thatcher was right… Socialism is a
great idea until you run out of other people’s money.
Clearly, in a nation on the brink of bankruptcy, more the
$17 trillion in debt and over $100 trillion in unfunded federal liabilities, all
of it caused by the over-bloated expansion of the federal government at the
expense of freedom and liberty itself, it’s time for some house cleaning. If
800,000 federal employees are non-essential, or not necessary, this is a good
start…
While I feel terrible for the families who bet their
families financial future on a government job, I feel much worse for 300
million Americans expected to continue picking up the tab for a government that
no longer represents the taxpayers in this country.
I am not happy that 800,000 Americans may have lost their
livelihood today, but it was inevitable…. And it is going to get much worse
before it gets any better. In the end, it was always going to come down to
saving government employees or saving the entire nation from total ruin.
Americans need a refresher course in basic economics.
·
People who can’t profit don’t produce
·
Without profit, there is no tax revenue
·
Without tax revenue, there is only deficits and
debt
·
Government jobs are a drain on the economy
·
Public sector employment destroys private sector
employment
Let’s get very real here for a moment… If we add up all
“essential” members of congress, the administrative branch and judicial branch,
it won’t add up to a thousand people. If we allow those thousand public
servants to have 99,000 helpers, which adds up to a total of one hundred
thousand federal employees, this means that 800,000 are not “non-essential” – 2
million are non-essential and one hundred thousand is a very nice luxury that
no other American has…
Of course, this means that the federal government will no
longer have the man-power to insert itself into the business of the states or
the people, or the private sector, from which all national prosperity must
come.
In short, it’s high time to give our government a major
haircut, time to give the hippies running our government a bath. It’s time to
neuter the people responsible for driving our nation to more than $100 trillion
in unfunded social-spending liabilities, just to garner a few votes here and
there.
If ObamaCare was such a great plan, lawmakers would accept
that coverage for themselves and their staffs, but they don’t and they never
will. This fact alone should end any debate over ObamaCare, which was put into
law by less than constitutional processes.
Now that we have arrived at yet another crossroad on the
path to the day of reckoning, it seems a perfect opportunity to address the
real issue in America;
the nation can no longer survive a Political Ruling Class which makes laws for
the peasants while exempting themselves from those laws.
We can no longer spend money we don’t have, and borrow from
ourselves when no one else on earth is foolish enough to lend to us anymore.
The silver lining in the “government shutdown” is the
American people will quickly realize what they can easily live without, 38% of
the federal employees responsible for 60% of the federal intrusions into the
private affairs of the states and the people.
The simple truth is if every state was a sovereign
economically secure home for American citizens, we could live in freedom again
without 90% of the current federal albatross, drowning the nation in a
socio-economic abyss like an anvil chained around the taxpayers neck.
I am no more for anarchy than I am communism. I stand firmly
opposed to both. But I am entirely for freedom and liberty, a free-market
economy like the one that made America
the most prosperous and powerful nation ever known to mankind, and a real sense
of sanity, which is completely absent in Washington
DC and many State governments today. These
damned communists must go!
The fantasy that we could spend our way to prosperity was
fun while it lasted, but it is over, or at least it should be. The 50% of
Americans currently dependent upon the other 50% of Americans for their very
existence will have to grow up, become adults, learn to use their freedom to
take care of their own instead of using it to rob others.
Every day that we pass on the opportunity to right our ship
and kick the can down the road a little further before dealing with the day of
reckoning, the hole is deeper, the walls are higher, the options are fewer and
the costs become greater.
America
will be a much better place, the type of country people envied all over the
world, once we rid ourselves of the albatross around our necks, the federal
government. This will happen one day, whether or not the American people are
smart enough to want it. Sooner or later, we will have to dismantle the federal
enterprise or it will dismantle America.
The smartest Americans want to deal with our disaster head
on today while we can still survive the reset. Only fools want to delay the
reckoning, unaware of the fact that the bigger the problem, the greater the
fall.
The Republicans (aka anarchists) are not shutting down
government. The people who have shut down any reasonable dialogue are shutting
down government. That blame rests with Harry Reid and his communist (aka
democrat) Senate.
But let’s not look a gift horse in the mouth here. Let’s
begin the economic turnaround by eliminating the 38% of government deemed
“non-essential” by the Obama Administration.
Further, until members of congress can balance the federal
budget without raising any new taxes, they are “non-essential” workers as well
and none of them should be paid either, until they do the jobs they get paid to
do, which does not include driving our nation into the toilet.
NOBODY in the federal government should draw a paycheck
until they begin to work for ALL of the
American people again. It’s 99% us and 1% them….
The “shutdown” will never be the worst thing to ever happen
in America, but
it could be the best thing to happen since 1776. It’s up to the people to
decide what to make of this opportunity.
God should show no mercy on a people who lack the backbone
to win a battle in which they have a 99-1 advantage.
Today is the day to take our country back… if only we have
the will. While pundits debate whether the shutdown is best for Republicans or
Democrats, the people must decide what is best for AMERICA,
with no regard for how it affects politicians who stopped caring about the
people decades ago.
