Nonessential Personnel
7th April 2011
One of the nice things about a potential government shutdown (or, for that matter, a big Washington D.C. snowstorm) is the clarity it provides about which government workers are “essential” personnel, who come to work even in a shutdown, and which are “nonessential” personnel, who don’t come to work. The question that naturally arises is, if they are nonessential personnel, why are the taxpayers funding their employment to begin with?
I’ll bet we could save a bundle by getting rid of these ‘nonessential’ parasites.
