... quite a while to do it. If they did this all at once, it would be like sending the 11 million undocumented Mexicans back to Mexico all at once. Guess they could just federalize all the employees and kick the PRIVATE CONTRACTOR (PC) management out the door and replace them with government management. Remember, 70% of the intel budget goes to PCs. And there's around 1,000 of them. Guess they could just federalize the PC's, lock stock and barrel.

Things need to be rolled back to pre-9/11 status, do away with the Patriot Act and stop all this extra snooping on the American public. This is another reason our economy is so effed up and it's taking so long to get back on our feet.
