Another Govt. Sequester Joke

But for the poor taxpayer who get screwed all the time, hours of waits at airport, Democratic gloom and doom the world is coming to an end, lets blame the Repubs, and while were at it lets slip this in to the budget.


TSA signs $50 million uniform deal, as billions in federal cuts ripple across America

On Feb. 22, the same day the contract was signed, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said the sequester cuts could result in flight delays as long as 90 minutes at major airports in Chicago, New York and San Francisco and warned about furloughing air traffic controllers.

Then, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, who also has warned about furloughs, said this week that long lines already are forming at major airports, a claim disputed by airport officials.

If the contract was issued prior to then they have to pay up. They shouldn't have done the uniform update in the first place...TSA needs to go way.

While at an AF base getting ready to close they still had to honor contracts to tear down housing and build garages in thier place. The base closed and a few years later everything was leveled. Yup- huge wastes of money everywhere in government.

Thank Goodness for the Fox News puppets...what else would we have to laugh at?

I'll ask you the same question I ask the other Fox News, Red State, The Blaze clowns...

Do you actually read the articles that you post from?

Here is a quote from the one above:

Quote:
The one-year contract with VF Imagewear Inc. provides new hires with such clothing and accessories as shirts, pants, a belt and socks.
While I get the stupidity of the Administration running around like Chicken Little, the absurdity of Fox to whine about new hires getting the proper uniform is just as bad. Oh..but Fox is "Fair and Balanced", right?

Why are they hiring when people are getting furloughed?

Wow, you are so right, i must have missed this entire sequester thing.
Per Obama, due to sequester and the cutbacks, i am now threatening American taxpayer citizens with it will take you hours to go through airport security. I did miss the part that said we are hiring more people and need 50 million of your bucks for uniforms while i am terrorizing the American tax payer.
The stupid force is strong with you...

Why are Janet and BO whining that the lines are going to get longer at the airports if there are going to be more TSA officers than there are now?

I didn't see you we're making the same point, sometimes there's a long delay between me hitting the quote button and then hitting the submit one.

All government contracts greater than $25,000 are supposed to include a Termination for Convenience clause. The government has to pay for any expenditures, including profit and cost of proposal preparation, but does not have to pay for any expenses incurred after the clause is exercised.
