Ah so this little antigovernment wanker does understand that government serves a purpose, after all, eh?

ah so, we have such a wonderful government who looks after us all so lovingly, the can't FIND anything else to cut in all this..

NO they are going to hit us little people where it hurts and make it hurt REAL GOOD

but YOU damn sure shouldn't BE ANTI-GOVERNEMT...shame on you

Everybody has a sacred cow they don't want slaughtered.

As I seldom use air transport, this is not one of mine.

AUSTERITY, which so many here absolutely want?

Well, it has outcomes.

This is one of those.

Maybe he shoulda watched Kill Bill:

That illustrates it pretty nicely.

Gov. Rick Scott asks Obama to stop furloughs of air traffic controllers

Gov. Rick Scott asked President Barack Obama Sunday to stop the furlough of air traffic controllers, which were ordered to achieve spending cuts required by Congress.
The furloughs began Sunday and were largely uneventful.

While the nightmarish flight delays and cancellations that the airline industry predicted would result from the furloughs did not materialize yet, the real test will come Monday, when traffic ramps up.

In his letter to the president, Scott said the furloughs will have a devastating impact on Florida families by creating unnecessary delays at Florida airports.

According to the Florida Department of Transportation, Florida airports accommodate more than 142 million passengers annually. Scott said the furloughs would cause a direct economic output reduction of $19 million annually.

Nightmarish delays? Can you explain why the FAA is unable to handle less air traffic when they have more money than last year?
