The Homa Files

Roads were icy in DC yesterday, so on the way into Georgetown I heard my favorite weather-related announcement:

“Only essential Federal employees need to report today; non-essential employees may take liberal leave”

Raises an obvious question: why do non-essential government employees ever need to report?

Sounds like a cost reduction opportunity to me … nice place to start the belt tightening … get rid of the slackers who self-identify as “non-essential”.

Why not?
