Funny. One of my friends is also a government contractor and he says the only reason he doesn't like Paul is because of his foreign policy that will probably eliminate his job. (He's overseas.)
Seems to me that if we quit spending all that money putting troops and contractors all over the world, we'd have a better economy and they would easily find something else.
Paul stated something like 200,000. Hell, I would probably lose mine, too. It's ok...if the economy is better, and we stop tramping all over the globe issuing orders, it would be worth it.
