NPS Sequestration. A reversal!

Something doesn't seem to come together here. A "Sdakotacampowner" glad to see a government run CG open when he is private. They usually have a hard time co-existing.

Both parties talk constantly about the waste in Government, yet nobody in Washington can think of a way to make the sequestration cuts address the waste? Instead they whine about how "draconian" a 5% cut will be. How many people have had to suck up more than a 5% cut in their personal finances in the last six years because of job losses, reduced returns on retirement investments, etc? Washington bureaucrats need to suck it up, join the rest of us in the real world and start doing their jobs.

DW and I worked for Uncle for years and in several different agencies/depts., and believe us, every govt. entity can suck up 5% in future budget cuts without affecting their core services, for example, the FAA and air traffic controllers. Every govt. entity is bloated.

Bingo!
Further editorial comment withheld at great personal effort and restraint.

Amen!
