re: #58 Killgore Trout

A few choice comments from HotAir (maybe not the same article you’re talking about, but general praise for RP):

Any functions which actually need to be kept from eliminated agencies could be absorbed into other agencies.

So the savings would, in fact, be nothing like the proposed amount, since you’d still be paying for a bunch of items that had apparently been “cut”?

all those who lose their jobs will be absorbed into the private sector — and our economy will get going again in a matter of months

This displays such a breathtaking lack of understanding of how the economy works (and is currently performing), it is actually awe-inspiring. “Absorbed into the private sector”?
