  1. Deciding what to pair down with precision versus what to slash and burn. It’s value judgements – yes – but for many departments, it’s also important policy decisions that affect our whole government.

    So I’m all for reducing the number of Worthless, Federal Tit-Sucking Parasites looting the GD Treasury!

    And furthermore, is there ANY gold in Fort Knox?
    I haven’t heard and answer for that one yet!
