I feel our government "reform" is out of control. The civil servant has been doing an awesome job while being faced with "down sizing" BRAC's, the constant threat of "contracting out" "A-76" to name only a few. No money to give a decent raise for dedicated workers who are the very back bone of this country. Who trains the new military member when they hit their first assignment, or second or even third? Its the civil service employee. Why, becasue the military is deployed or on readiness exercise. Who keeps the government wheel turning without missing a beat? Its the civil service employee because the military are deployed and we don't have enough troops to cover all that we ask of them. A million times a day through out this country a civil servant is stepping up to the plate and doing more and more because we care about our military brothers and sisters. We are a vital part of the heart beat of this country. You can't buy lowest bid contractors or bring in under paid employees and gain. You can't buy integrity or dedication. It comes from being a patroit. We may not wear the uniform, but we are just as commited to our country as those we stand with in the defense of this great nation. If our government would be honest with the American public and admit when its wrong it would be a step toward stopping this road to disaster we are headed down. Our country is big, it is strong...is it big enough to admit when its wrong? At this time in our country we need the dedicated civilians who have been the back bone of this nation. Our security to this country depends on that dedication. Creating mistrust and havoc in the system is not in our nations best interest. What has been proposed is nothing short of an attempt to install a "good-ol-boy" system that will take us back 100 years in the progress we have made to over come discrimination. NO ONE is buying this "it will be fair" we have all been around the block. Stop this insanity before its too late. Saving money ...you will in the end lose so much more than money. What price do you place on a stong secure nation?
