This is very upsetting because it puts the United Stat
es in an inferior position militarily speaking.
Since I worked several years for the Dept. of Defence I am aware of terrific savings that can be realized by cutting out MUCH waste, duplication, etc. However, the reductions must be done by HIGHLY qualified, experienced individuals. I could tell you some stories that would "curl your toes"!!!!
Some of the most inept, dumb, unqualified people work for the Government.
I doubt whether that will EVER change.
Private businesses would quickly FIRE many persons I have dealt with in Government work.
It is very costly and dangerous to have such employees. AND...I really don't believe it makes ANY difference what political party controls the White House.
The problem is so HUGE that it may NEVER be changed. It is due mainly to HUMAN NATURE and
weak indecisive people in positions of authority.
The entire system is too unwieldy, full of regulations that are EXTREMELY difficult to change, and it is almost impossible to fire anyone regardless of how poor an employee they are. (Similar to firing a school teacher).
I finally resigned my position and decided that it was impossible to"fight the system" without a LOT of help.
If I sound like my civilian experience with the government made me "bitter"...it DID.
Anyone else with similar Government experience???
Sorry about that.
BUT I am NEVER "bitter" about my country! God Bless America and the Republic we live in!!!
