They're celebrating laying off over 800,000 workers

[malaise]

Unfuckingbelievable

1. I know right?

Being laid off sucks! And Republicans "jobs jobs jobs" cheer these layoffs. Their supporters want more. It's so ugly. They truly are out of touch.

[tridim]

2. ODS induced insanity. The only cure is to not be a Republican.

Can someone explain what goal they're trying to achieve with these inhuman statements? There are no positives.

3. Well I suppose the Republicans finally passed a jobs bill

Too bad it puts 800,000 people out of work.

4. Just sloughing off those govt leeches...

now we can use that money for the military

[NutmegYankee]

6. 400,000 of them work for the military.

5. No, they're celebrating laying off 800K Central-Casting Byooooreaucrats...

...who collect fat paychecks and super benefits to do nothing but shuffle paper and use their red tape to tie the hands of The Heroes(tm).

They're Reaganesque in that they have all these old movies playing in their heads.

7. It's only money to them. Tax payers money saved. More money for war and "national defense" like NSA.

Federal employes mooching off the tax payer's dime.
<----<< For those that see slights against Obama everywhere.

Like someone else on this thread alluded to, these are Living-Wage-Jobs. Just because they are federal jobs does not make any difference, they are still good Living-Wage-Jobs. Because these are people not getting paid, they are not spending money in the economy, slowing down whatever recovery there is even more.

8. More than that...all those concessions at national parks are contracted out

and those employees are no longer needed also...probably other instances where shutting the federal agencies affects private companies.

9. And their pay is guaranteed.

They should all be fucking jailed and not fed.

10. +1,000

Serious these are excuses for human beings
