Replaced by something less attractive if you ask me.

Who are you talking to now?

I was hired during the Bush administration so why don't you email him with your complaints.

No substantive response to the content of the post, huh?

Government employment has exploded under Republican administrations is my point.

In Florida, when Jeb Bush took over he cut the number of FDOT's employees by 25% over a five year period.

At the same time he increased our "consultant" budget astronomically so that we could hire private firms to do what we used to do in house. Our overall expenditures ballooned. We had so much consultant money we had to have special meetings to try to brainstorm how we were going to spend it all.

We were also required to report all money spent for "consulting" under "production". That way our "productivity" went way up. It was such a fucking scam.
