I can tell you from personal experience that at different times, and for several years in total, I worked for companies where the CEO would send down the order...no new employee hiring under any circumstances! No replacements for resignations or retirements or even deaths of employees. None! And he meant it. If somehow someone hired a new employee, it wasn't unusual that the person that hired him was fired!
All this article tells me is that no one in the federal hierarchy has a clue about how to run a business which is unprofitable...spending more than its taking in. Until we get someone in the White House and in Congress who will get serious about ths stuff, we're all in deep doo-doo.

Point well taken. Here is a political question and quandry I thought of.
Romney knows as we all do that we need to cut down on the federal employee count and budget (and I am being extremely general here to make the question have some sense). He knows that we need to dramatically need to cut spending, as we all do.
WHEN does he tell the voters the reality and HOW does he do it ?
We know that Obama will do as always and lie his way through and perhaps Romney telling the truth would cost him the election because as you can see on here, any sounbite that sounds uncomfortable will be used and voters will be impressed. That scares me...as I said Obama will say whatever it takes.....WHO WILL tell the truth that the only way forward is a step "back" ?
