In the private
sector - businesses have learned to do with less and become more
efficient to survive in the harsh economic times.
I knew of a sales assistant that worked at a construction company.
When the economy took a downturn the office secretary was laid
off and the sales assistant became the office secretary and had
to also do her own job as sales assistant. A 10% reduction in
the federal workforce excluding defense is no big deal. Defense
is essential to America's survival - but Michelle Obama's staff
is not.
