800,000 federal employees who are paid by the working American to the tune of 50K/year would save $40 Billion/year. (almost 1/2 of what the Tea Party wants cut) Lets give the shut down a try. Last time no one even noticed. Let government catch up to the private sector. While private companies have become leaner and either frozen or reduced pay, the government has grown fatter.
BTW The GOP looking out for the troops is not a novel idea. Unlike some Dems, Reps don't generally loathe the military and don't accuse them of acting like SS troops.
