in 1995--after months of New Ginchrich et al demonizing Federal employees for EVERYTHING-- just to hurt Clinton. Morale was so low among the workforce and obviously only became worse thereafter. I thought there would be a reassessment of such Congressional and RW media tactics--but if there was, it was for a nanosecond. Rush Limbaugh spent the other side of his big mouth (that not attacking women as "Feminazis" ), to continue attacking those who received a Federal paycheck (or Federal aid).

It is beyond time for the sane democracy-loving populace of this country to put a stop to this propaganda and hate-filled targeting.

How's that rotting in hell going, eh, Rush?

my federal worksite was undergoing some interior renovations, with restoration and repainting of the 1930s artwork all along the ceiling/rotunda of the lobby, plus was being made ADA-compliant, including what would eventually be the addition of a ramp at the front entrance. There was a big sign out front promoting the project with our building's name prominently displayed.

Next thing you know, that sign was removed, the building's name was wiped from tourist maps, all of the side entrances (one of which I used to enter and exit as it was closest to where I parked) were closed for good. Eventually in came the magnetometers and picture IDs, etc., and the exterior fisheye cameras were upgraded.

This was all BEFORE 9/11.

People were glad when Gingrich was finally booted from office but as I warn people continually here, he is STILL around and behind the scenes stoking this crap. I still like to post this from 6 years ago because you can see how it manifested -

I know that sometimes when you seek the ‘private sector’ to do something, you get exactly what you paid for…. And many a laugh I have had when that has happened.

You have to ensure that every contingency is covered, every article identified, and every letter has the dot above it…cause if it ain’t in the contract it will not be delivered. If an addendum to the contract, you will pay out your nose.

And they will not tell you prior to the contract what you neglected to include or what was not covered, that’s just good business on their side, but a huge unexpected expense once discovered and contract signed.

You definitely get what you paid for - there is a reason that private business is for profit and government is for common good.

“I guess the question I'm asked the most often is: "When you were sitting in that capsule listening to the count-down, how did you feel?" Well, the answer to that one is easy. I felt exactly how you would feel if you were getting ready to launch and knew you were sitting on top of two million parts -- all built by the lowest bidder on a government contract.”
