Ripped from yesterday's headlines:
Only one employee in the entire federal government lost a
job due to sequestration, according to a government audit that found
the only permanent cut came at the U.S. Parole Commission, which
eliminated one position.
Sen. Tom Coburn, an Oklahoma Republican, said Wednesday that the
audit — performed by the Government Accountability Office and released
last month — shows that the worries over sequestration’s impact on jobs
was overblown.
“Despite relentless warnings about the dire consequences of
sequestration’s budget cuts, it appears sequestration resulted in only
one layoff,” he said. “While that’s good news for federal employees and
other workers, it is devastating to the credibility of Washington
politicians and administration officials who spent months — and millions
of dollars — engaging in a coordinated multi-agency cabinet-level
public relations campaign to scare the American people.”
Wow. Boehner, Ryan, Cantor, et.al. REALLY shrunk that Gummint, eh?
