    That's a shitey attitude.

    I call bullshit. No government worker tries to save taxpayer money. If you run out of money, raise or create new taxes. If you're in the federal government, tell the treasury to print more money.
    Wow, you're an idiot here *and* on Slashdot!

    But we also put an entire floor of nice, hardworking people out of work.
    I never worry about this type of thing. Because if we don't do it, our competition will--then we'll all be out of work.

    Technology doesn't eliminate jobs, it simply moves them from the unskilled to the skilled.

    If a computer system has eliminated your job, and there are no other similar jobs available, then it is time to update your skill set.

    so utterly true... And it applies to more then just computer systems... Do you feel bad about all the poor horse carts makers who had to get new jobs? Automation advances our society as a whole, and improves the lives of every individual within it.
