Pretty sure all branches have been turning people away since the recession started.
Wonderful. I guess we should all hope the recession continues ad infinitum.

IRS "workers" can't retire at 38.

50% of Federal employees should be in a different line of work.

Hmm. I could get behind dropping a good portion of consular work that deals with immigrant visas. Go back to the traditional consular function of assisting Americans overseas and nonimmigrant visas. But then DHS would take over immigrant visas and at that point there would be no fraud prevention. Just stamp em and bring em on in.

What percentage do? In your expert opinion?

Not to say there isn't a crap ton of waste and inefficiencies...but people really like their big government. They just don't know it.

Oh come on...
It's the nature of the beast
My long past EX works for the TSA since it's creation
and she told me 66% of them could be let go and it wouldn't do a thing

sadly ALL giant Federal entities function similarly in this regard

However:
Don't confuse me with somebody who actually cares... I think everybody should keep their job and god damn good for them (congratulations, now go buy a car and a house)

I'm just making a point (meaningless as it may seem)
