Comment The inevitable government layoffs (Score 1) 565
Speaking of massive layoffs and the employment situation in NoVa, how long do you folks think that the government feeding frenzy is going to last? Not every techie can become an employee or contractor of the US Government, but that seems to be what we are trying to do here in this country.
All we're doing is forestalling a tragedy of biblical proportions. When the fed.gov employment bubble finally bursts, there will be an all new meaning to the words 'ye reap what ye sow.' Security clearnances be damned! The military/industrial complex cannot expand much furuther than it already has in our Sparta-esque militarized state known as the USA.
Enjoy it while it lasts though. I'm guessing we have fewer than ten years left until total meltdown. State governments will follow right along--all their expansion money is coming from the feds, too.
