President Obama is presiding over one of the most blatant examples of mismanagement in modern times. Private enterprise has always had to figure out how to get the job done with less resources, increase productivity, and deal with budget cuts. When times get tough, the grocer doesn't just close Aisle 5; the car dealer doesn't make customers wait, the accounting firm doesn't take every tenth day off.
The supposedly sequester-driven chaos in airline travel is a selfish, arrogant, petty way to screw with the citizenry. The government deserves to be starved, after this amazing show of bad faith.
And yet he spends a lot of our money on lavish vacations and celebrity-studded parties. Why? To send a message: "If I don't get what I want, when I want it, the way I want it, you slobs are gonna suffer, but I'm better than you and I'm gonna do just fine. He wants us upset and inconvenienced and off balance. People, when off balance, want change -almost any change- and they are more pliable because of it.
It's all just a head game.

I find it more than a little amusing that we've spent years and years hearing people blather on about how government workers are lazy and useless and should be dumped. Now that there's a small reduction in staffing, the same people who have spent the last 4+ years bashing government workers and calling for their layoffs are now whining that the government workers aren't there.

Exactly!!!
They also claim that private enterprise can do it so much better. This airport problem is the perfect opportunity for private enterprise airlines to do it better!
They sent me a letter telling me that if I dont send them a schedule D, that I will have to pay them $136K...
Well I've sent them a Schedule D, they sent me back with another letter saying, send me a Schedule D, or the cost will be $149K..
Its been round and round now 3 times.. Its utterly laughable (if it wasnt so serious) because the Schedule D is 85 pages long.. How can they miss it?
I feel your pain.
My husband and I own a business. This year, our taxes were DOUBLE what they were last year. And they are definitely going up again in 2013 and AGAIN in 2014 (healthcare "reform").
Now - did we MAKE double the previous years' income? Errrrr, no. Not even close. But our taxes doubled! DOUBLED.
Thank goodness we had set the money aside "just in case."

I'm whining about INEFFICIENCY and vindictiveness from our government. They are forced to cut their INCREASES (not their current budgets) by 2 percent, so they vindictively cut services that will cause the most pain to tax payers.
My gosh, just about any budget should be able to be cut by 2 percent - ESPECIALLY when that's in the PROJECTED budget rather than the current budget.

Ignoring the obvious issue of a government monopoly on said services

Wow. Spoken like a true believer straight out of fantasyland. Nobody is whining that the workers aren't there. We're just wondering why the FAA can't handle less passengers than in 2007 with more money than in 2007. If you cannot smell the corruption you need a new nose.
