[quote=deadzone]BG, although I know I’m wasting my time here trying to explain this to you, I do want to point out one important flaw in your thinking. You are exclusively focused on federal workers because all the news is talking about the furlough that was announced. But in the defense business there are far more contractors than federal workers. They are the ones who will get axed in the long run. A reduction in force for federal workers is rare and they will be the last ones to go. The impact on the non-federal defense workers is the problem. Do some research and get back to me.[/quote]
That’s not what the local news reports are saying, deadzone. They’re talking about some (DOD and Port District) civil service jobs and military functions being axed in SD.
Since no other Piggs have thus far, why don’t YOU take the challenge I posted earlier in the day and get back to me?
[quote=bearishgurl on February 22, 2013 – 9:18am.]Does any Pigg have any concrete evidence from a reliable source, (preferably someone close to the “horses mouth”) that Defense contracting is going to be cut or decimated after the “Federal sequester” takes effect March 1?[/quote]
