You obviously have not worked for a private sector company that has to respect their customers or they go elsewhere. We are the governments customer and we have no choice but to put up with their laziness and inefficency.

As for the shutting down at Xmas ... tell me the comapnies that do this. I worked for 25 years at a fortune 50 manufacturing company and we never shut our manufactiuring or converting operations down ... we had customers and respected their needs and were not selfish enough to say we are shutting down ... why because we knew if we did not meet the needs of our customers, they would find someone lese that would.

We fought to earn and keep our customers every day ... we never took them for granted ... that was our culture and it drove our success as a company ... and it was why we were always the acquiring company of others less successful and grew to a $60 billion powerhouse.

Government employees do not understand that thinking or work ethic, because tax payers have no choice and there is no one to complain to at the government office because they think the same and do nothing anyway.

Tell me the truth ... if your job at the government went away would it really have been a problem. I am sure not ... and it is the point I am making ... there are plenty of cuts, deep cuts that can be made ... and while the worker in the government may think their job is so critical ... it is not. Life will go on.

I would rather keep more of the money I make and have less of these valuable government services so i can make my own choices. I am very capable of that and most people are.
