WASHINGTON (AP) — Defense Secretary Leon Panetta told Congress on Wednesday that if automatic government spending cuts kick in on March 1 he may have to shorten the workweek for the ‘‘vast majority’’ of the Defense Department’s 800,000 civilian workers.

Pffft, whatever Leon. Welcome to the private sector!
There is nothing more satisfying to a republican than the thought of 800,000 people having their hours cut at work. Pfft whatever leon welcome to the private sector? Really? If there is chaos while a democrat is president then its good then? Let me just hope Rileysdad that you are the first to have misfortune. Your Karma is written.
Awesome. Your are apparently such a bitter person that you resort to hasty judgements, generalization and other personal attacks. I would love to debate you in a public setting. Having worked for more than one failed startup where my income stopped without warning, As a parent of two plus doing home hospice for a parent, I would say that I have walked more than a mile in their shoes. So they lose 20 percent of their pay which just so happens to trigger access to reduced employment benefits while they continue to make 80 and build on their pensions. Excellent.
Oh, and while you're digesting this, update your files. I haven't been a registered Republican for over 22 years. As far as Karma goes..... if you knew 10 percent of what I did to aid others, you would be disgusted by your own remark. Want my e-mail so you can set up a time to hear each others POV? Just ask, I'll post it right here.
