Banks don't make trillions of dollars appear/disappear. The Fed does that.Well we let the banks run the show for a while and look at the mess they made
Just noting that in your opening comment you indicated that managers should have been better able to plan for the cuts. I was noting that we were told directly not to plan and not to take any actions that might mitigate the damage. Will say however you've burst my optimistic bubble by telling me businesses when forced to reduce expenses wouldn't stop unprofitable areas before they stop profitable ones.
And you needed someone else to tell you that? Without the "profitable areas", a business cannot succeed. I've always said that I am not in business to lose money or to break even. I am in business to make money. Otherwise, what's the purpose of operating a business in the first place?
So you believed the politicians? Big no no. While I believe that we can cut everywhere the Air Force is not one of them I'd cut too deep. I would like them to have the very best because in modern warfare the ** is critical to reducing casualties and bringing a much quicker end to conflicts. Some of the stories of how old some of their equipment is downright terrifying.
With big boosts in 1863 (The National Banking Act) and 1913 (The Federal Reserve Act).
The tax payers probably had to pay $100,000,000 for those 20 jobs.
Heh. Either gmart switched parties, or he's undercover...Rare photo of gmart guffawing

Either gmart switched parties, or he's undercover...
Welcome gmart. A long journey starts with the first step.:tongue: Now go donate your guns to the poor.:tongue:

You think civilians have cornered the market on stupidity? Guess you've never been in the miliitary. Good thing about the military is, they send them back to civilian life to become politicians. I don't mean to be rude but I get the goverment workers do nothing all the time and it gets old. I work 10 hours a day (an hour I just give them), drive 90 miles round trip, and support every Army unit in the world that needs our software. I think I earn my pay.
Kick the can. Kick the can. Run away as fast as you can.
We agree. Bipartisanship, even if you had to find a Libertarian to accomplish it.
