But there you would be wrong. I have done those things. Our small agency had it's own budget -- so yes, we had to pay our rent, pay our utilities, we had a lawyer on staff, I've actually handled personnel both hiring and firing and disciplinary actions, dealt with unions and the EEO, and I had to figure out how we would pay the salaries of our personnel within the money I was given, even when Congress gave them a raise and didn't provide any additional money to cover it. We paid for the travel by our people, and for their training and for their bonus'. If I hired a person who was not currently in the Washington area, I had to figure out how to pay for it. I've had money withdrawn from our account by the OSD Comptroller and still had to make our expenses. We paid for our computer support and just about every service that we had. Even our trash pick up. And did all this within the paramenters and regulations that govern government operations. I didn't have the option of taking loans to cover our expenses for new computers or new equipment. You see, there is no "big government" in the sky that rains money. Did you know I could be removed from my job if the Inspector General or the GAO decided that I misused government money?

It's you MM that have no clue about what it takes to run a 200 person operation within the government.
