Work defined the 16 exempted jobs as follows:

...

• Positions providing child care to the children of military personnel.

• Positions at the installation level providing direct support to the prevention of child abuse, sexual assault, domestic violence and suicide and providing direct support to those affected.

APPROVAL NEEDED

Defense Department guidance issued Feb. 1 specifically exempts “Positions providing child care to the children of military personnel.” However, the service branches still must seek approval to hire workers to fill those positions when they become vacant, said DoD spokesman Johnny Michael.

DoD is aware that bases including Fort Knox and Wiesbaden have announced child care cuts, Michael said, and officials "are working through the chain of command with these installations to ensure that they are taking advantage of the ability to seek exemptions."

New processes for obtaining such exemptions may create hiring delays, Michael said, which could lead to staffing shortages even in exempted areas.

The point being, that due to the requirement to fill out the necessary waivers to hire such personnel (which, if I am not mistaken, would add to the normal work load of military personnel who do this, thus increasing cost) which will, as admitted, lead to longer times to fill these positions, which again, means that people are stuck with no child care, the additional cost for the first lady living in New York in security expenses is justified?

When the whole idea was to cut federal spending?

Of course, everyone is missing the key point.

Why the fuck are the taxpayers footing the bill for security in, what has been advertised, as one of the most secure buildings in Manhattan?

Look, when Trump opened the building its security made much of the procedures utilized at the United Nations a freaking joke. The elevators to the residence floors require a coded key card to use, public access elevators to the same floors requires security to verify the person with the tenet or management.

Hell, the place is more secure than the white house itself.

Seriously, the security for Obama's Hawaiian residence had to be in place when he was not there, at a cost of $300k per week.
The cost for security at President Bush's ranch in Crawford Tx when he was not there was $260k.

My point being is simple.

Why the fuck do you need a full secret service security detail at homes when the president is not there, and why the fuck do you need a full detail in a building that makes security at the white house look like Barney Fife is in charge?

For that matter, why do former presidents even need a full detail? What possible security problem does the former president even pose? Its not like he has access to current security information OR the nuclear launch codes?

Besides, considering the Fuck up Obama was, why would anyone want to take the sucker out for a big mac, let alone anything else?

He got a peace prize for nothing, except that he was the first black American President.

The problem, is that the hiring freeze, while exempting some jobs, is that it added to work loads, which in and of itself, increases cost.

So, child care workers are exempt.

Okay

So, you have to file a shit ton of paper work to get those exemptions, which takes time to process on top of the time it takes to clear the individual to actually work on post.

And, you cannot start the back ground checks while waiting for the exemptions.

Excuse me, but "may" and "could" doesn't mean "will, as admitted," and the hiring process has always been an issue anyway.

“The process of hiring CDC personnel is lengthy and arduous," wrote Joyce Raezer, executive director of the National Military Family Association . . . "It can be difficult for CDC directors to find, hire, and put into place qualified staff” . . . That process is complicated by the fact that people don’t want to wait for the background checks and they need to seek employment elsewhere. ~MilitaryTimes

I think it's pretty clear that the "key point" was to gin up a case by any means possible.

So folks, in order to save money, we are going to shut down child care facilities for military dependent families AND spend a shit ton because the first Lady prefers the luxury of Trump Tower over the white house.

Yeah, that must be it. How could it be anything else?

You got that right. Anything to attack Trump, even complaining about protection for the First Family. If I thought there was a bottom, and I'm not sure I ever did, I stand corrected now.
