Reduction through Attrition

From my sister PameLa on Facebook:

The difference between the two is that President Obama has a wealth of experience and Mr. 47% Mitt has an experience of wealth.

Mitt is a liar that lies out of both sides of his mouth. He said he's going to create jobs and then said he's going to cut government (as in workers). Before people could figure out that it would be a measure that cuts jobs, he quickly adds that he would accomplish this through attrition (forced retirement).

Many people who could not afford to retire or may not desire to retire would be put out on the streets. They would not be included in any unemployment statistics because according to the way they were written off, they were indeed written off--off the books. Out of sight; out of mind; out of existence. If they enter the job market as a retiree, it's seen as coming out of retirement to start a second career (as in a hobby to keep them busy).

So, Romney will bankrupt them (us) the same way that he has done all of those other workers. "WakeUpListenUpStandUp
