STOP all "team building vacations" and other things that the taxpayer is paying for, that are not necessary as part of the job. There are enough electronic things out there on the market that can help with team building or whatever excuse they are using to take these trips. Think of the debt reduction(if there still was one) after all these things are stopped.
Why is this important?
My husband is affected by the furlow, while the taxpayers pay for the IRS employees (and I am sure others) to take "team building vacations". Think of the total cost of all the Governement Departments that do this.
