Lerner's calling for a taxi before getting thrown under a bus.

She was asked to resign and refused. Bad decision. Lerner might imagine that her superiors have some loyalty to save her. They don't.

 

[iamwhatiseem]

Holder is next.

Lerner is under no illusions. Most government people are about as loyal as snakes. The only reason presidents are safe is they are the life support system for the parasites around them. Her refusal to resign is to protect her legal rights in re benefits.

One hopes she is prosecuted and convicted. Even if she is innocent. We are in a war to take back the country from corporations, so as collateral damage or a friendly fire loss the example is more important than what actually happened.

Seriously??

How many draftees died or were maimed to protect and defend the United States? Was it worth it to you? One career ruined as an example of failure to do one's job (not a criminal offense, but a serious moral offense against the nation) defending and protecting the United States from a warm, dry spot inside the machine is no sacrifice to get it across to others that bad things can happen to incompetent administrators.

Seriously.

Wow, emotions seem to be running your replies, rather than logic.

It is clear you confuse logic with your own emotions. There is sound logic in sacrificing one incompetent bureaucrat as an example to others. The bureaucrat's guilt or innocence has no logical connection to the issue. The emotional belief that punishment and the threat of punishment does not work is a hilarious example of the degradation of statistics in the hands of bureaucrats seeking targeted results instead of actual results.

A tangent issue is your obvious ignorance of acceptable losses. Still, your personal freedom is the result of them. There is no emotion at all in my statement of fact that in light of all the acceptable losses the United States has embraced, sacrificing one bureaucrat as an example to similarly inclined bureaucrats is an acceptable loss.

Next.
