      Gates to shut major command in Va. that employs 5,000 people


      [BACKLINKED]

      WASHINGTON ? Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Monday that tough economic times require that he shutter a major command that employs some 5,000 people around Norfolk, Va., and begin to eliminate other jobs throughout the military.

      The announcement was the first major step by Gates to find $100 billion in savings in the next five years. Gates says that money is needed elsewhere within the Defense Department to repair a force ravaged by years of war and to prepare troops for the next fight.

      Nice continued steady reduction of government. No more need to wish for that I guess. Seems like with the mass job cuts they did last month, and the ongoing reduction, we'll be down to a conference room and a box of Krispy Kremes in no time.
      Government and its evil and isidious control over our lives has shrunken not a bit. Some jobs have gone away which may slow down the monster but that is about it.

      Attmepts at more government control will continue and civil rights will continue to be eroded despite the job cuts.

          That place must be staffed by PMSing old cunts, jezus

          the only nice helpful person was an older Haitian lady who just kept talking and talking and explaining everything in detail. At the hospital it's the Haitian ladies who give the best care, no wonder all the old people here hire them

            fed is growing
            military is shrinking
            State is shrinking

            Read this,
            http://www.house.gov/jec/growth/function/function.pdf
            Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
            think about that

              Amputate forgot to conveniently mention that the public sector jobs in Washington are increasing. So much for facts.

                That ain't the government shrinking at all.

                That's a military base shutting down. Military does not equal Government.

                The government at every level is way too big and way too involved in too many things.

                  True, but the money to pay those people comes from the gov, which comes from us. So in terms of smaller government equaling the gov spending less, I'm down. At least until they spend it on something else. So what's that.... about a 3-minute window of bliss?

                    They can't.

                    The US uses 1/4 of the world's resources, and needs remote strength to ensure continuation of supply. If you wrap up the US influence around the world then the US will either need to do the unthinkable .. reduce consumption of resources, or will suffer from countries and administrations being able to decide where to allocate and where to sell their resources.

                            I guess when I hear about size of government, I think of the size of the bureaucracy. Which is just plain ridiculous these days.

                              That's the other side of it, sure. I believe there's clearly not enough regulation. (Wall St., Big Oil, Pharma, etc). Gov needs to step up in that area. That means more people will be required, but they'll have money from the people they just eliminated, so they can hire new people to fill the new positions they need to create more regulations. That right there is job creation folks, in action.

                              Another problem solved.
