Budget impacts N.D.

I thought the State funded the States National Guard or is there a Federal National Guard? I sure appreciate your service National Guard soldiers. We will just have to hope Mother Nature is nicer to us than the Washington DC bunch.

Seems that Government now will get a chance to feel what others all over America have been feeling for the last 4 years.

Maybe rather then furlough people they should go lay off two office people and let the normal crews proceed on a regular 5 day work week.

Any company that cannot find a way to tighten its budget has a very big problem.

Thanks for your service guys and good luck. Maybe time for the 3rd level of management to leave or even the 4th level of management.

EarlyBird, there are civil servants that work for the National Guard that is paid with federal appropriated dollars, just like the civil servants on the base. I didn't know there were over 600 of them across ND though. I thought there was only 11 at the Minot Branch.

Funny how that works..As part of the Sequester, Congress' and Executive branches pay, expenses, staff, vacations, golf outing, you name it are totally unaffected. Yet, they are sure fast to whack the pay of others and "furlough" others too. In fact, the WH specifically told DoD contractors NOT to issue 90 layoff warnings in October as prescribed by law just before the election knowing this was on the horizon. Abuse of Executive power????

Remember when Reagan was president and we were all optimistic and felt like we lived in the greatest country ever, and felt like we had the potential for greatness regardless of our upbringing, and family and knowledge were valued, and accomplishment was the measure of a person?

Reagan cut the budget and emptied out all the mentally ill onto the street,and boosted the defense/offense budget,since he used to be the pitchman for General Electric,whom we know is a HUGE part of the military industrial complex Eisenhower warned us about in his farewell address in 1961 ! ! !

And then along came Clinton and cut the Military down to nothing. Then along came Bin Laden and waged a war on US soil.

But Clinton had drained the military and Bush had to go buy it back to protect the country.

So Obama is going to drain it again and we WILL be attacked again and then the same dung hits the fan.

Our enemies are so much smarter at detecting when we are at a low Military presence. They are sitting back licking their chops as Obama decreases the military and makes it weak again like Clinton did.

Watch and wait. Who will get hit next here in the USA? Just a matter of time.

62% of Americans and 95% of Republicans, think that the Obama has become “too expensive.”
