I could depants the hideous moron. I have no idea what the Fox people could do since I don't watch them.
Yes. She's a moronic Rhodes scholar. Another characteristic of conservative ideology: Intelligence and education are to be ridiculed and demeaned. There's a reason why higher education is dominated by liberals - conservatives aren't intellectually equipped for learning and teaching environments.
Bill Clinton was a Rhodes Scholar as well and he doesn't know what "is" means.

Well this thread is going downhill quick. Having worked for a gov't contractor in the past though, I've got to say it goes both ways. Davis-Bacon made sure everyone was getting paid way more than they signed up for, so clearly not the best stewardship of tax dollars there. AND I can remember the company clearly taking advantage of the govt. For example, I recall having to work 60 hour weeks for a few months even though we were on schedule. Something about a paperwork error and we had to meet a certain requirement for man hours for that period.
Clearly either management of contractors at the federal level is completely mismanaged or there's just so much red tape that its easy to get a lawyer and find loopholes everywhere. Or both.
As for things like trash service, go ahead and do it on the city or town level but I have no interest in going through the gov't for those types of services. For the most part, I want to be served by the private sector. In general, they will get the job done quick and clean to keep me as a customer and to move on to the next customer. I dont see how profit motive and competition could possibly be a bad thing for me as a consumer. They want to service me in order to get more of my money.
The gov't just needs to A) quit favoring union work and B) keep closer tabs on their contractors and I think we'll get the best deal for our tax money.
That and cut out all the red tape. Working on a gov't jobsite seemed more like one long safety class than an actual job. Everyone moved at a snails pace and the resulting general attitude just sucked. It seemed like following a shitload of rules all day just made everyone depressed even though we were all making crazy money.

Leave the government shut down. Have the states appoint a interstate dispute court, and a volunteer militia. Fuck the federal government. Let it disappear. Have the states seize control of the fed.

Actually I was looking at it as a mark of shame. We should be able to readily identify these people on sight so as to treat them with the respect they deserve.
