So basically this is a fake outrage thread when you read the article and see the details of where those jobs are going too and how they are being paid for.

Nope..not ALL those jobs are at military bases in some other country.


From the OP link:

At the Transportation Security Administration, which said sequestration would result in widespread flight delays, 436 positions, almost all for security officers, have been posted since March 4.

TSA also is hiring for quality assurance, logistics management, information technology and program analyst roles. Each of these jobs can pay more than $137,000 a year.

An email from one federal agency indicated that it was intentionally placing the brunt of the cuts on critical and high-profile positions instead of low-priority jobs to lend credence to the dire warnings it had proffered to Congress in a plea for more funding.

I never said ALL of them were military based jobs.

As for TSA jobs, did you see how fast Congress passed a bill to protect air travel? Parts of it was hand written it was put together and got a bi-partisan approve so fast.
