Even though I didn't watch the debate - technically I couldn't - I already know these three things

1) The candidates are 85% identical
2) Obama Care and Romney Care are 85% identical
3) See points one and two

And don't believe anybody who tells you Romney was a sh!tty Governor
So wait, now you've gone from they are the exact same plan to they are 85% identical. What are you going to claim next? That they are 50% identical?

Hey whatever helps you sleep at night bro...
They are (for all intents and purposes) the same plan - Romney already said that
I know that makes you angry but I'm sorry about that

You can spin this however you want to make you feel better - but -it's the same sh!t in a different wrapper
If you want to argue that this Sh!t has corn in it and smell a little different go ahead
But it's still the same sh!t

So your point is?

That's what all federal employees say...
Yet we're over employed by 33% at the federal level
We could let go (tomorrow) a third of our federal employees and nobody would notice

Truth
Once again you are a terrible liberal and your conservative stripes are showing. Next you'll be calling for the abolishment of the Dept of Education.

BTW I don't disagree with you at all. That said, the majority of the fat is with the domestic civil service. And you are wrong; we could let go of more than 50% of the federal workforce, starting with my.... um... well I'll keep that to myself because I don't want my household shipment to El Salvador to wind up in Cairo because I pissed off the wrong HR tech.

Fortunately for me, all of consular affairs is self funded; we actually generate revenue through visa fees; we are l completely budget-neutral. We are also understaffed across the board in all agencies dealing with immigration. That's why immigration fraud is so prevalent... there are way too few ICE, USCIS and Consular investigators and fraudulent visa applicants invariably slip through the net. If I had about 5 hours with a red pen and the Federal roster I could send 50% of the workforce home, while simultaneously increasing our ability to actually enforce immigration laws. But they don't allow me red pens unfortunately. And don't forget... whenever an administration needs to artificially boost employment numbers for political reasons they just hire a SH!tload of new federal employees with responsibilities like keeping track of legal pads, doing diversity surveys, and running ad campaigns for programs that shall not be named here.

BTW you can thank me later for all the criminals and impersonators who have had their visas refused or revoked personally by me (after they paid their fees, of course).
