I know this opinion will be horribly disliked here, but I don't see a
reduction in gov't as a tragedy.  One of the problems now is too much
dead weight hanging around.  Unfortunately, those who are not dead
weight are the one's to suffer.  I saw so much dead weight while at
JSC that you could sink a battleship.  NASA (and all contractors),
unfortunately, is now suffering for this practice.  It will/has taken a
drastic and painful cure, but in the long run, it's for the better.
