With enormous respect to my 109 colleagues who suffered a completely unnecessary furlough, this job has been a very desirable and stable job for a long time. No job is full proof, but, as we have seen, Fedex and UPS have been the mantra of job security for a long time. You can make all the comments you want, barring a short period of time of “just because I can furlough to spite you” time, the facts speak for themselves.

Sorry, off topic, but I didn't start it ;-)
I'm not sure if you are being serious but in case you are: By most measures it is not. Neither is my country by the way.
I had a quick look at rankings from a wide range of international sources by country based on freedom, GDP, heaths systems, obesity, drug addiction, violent crime, higher education, obesity, happiness, suicide rates and much more. The US is not the number one in any(!) of these rankings.
Doesn't mean it's a bad country. It does have its major flaws though and is far from perfect. Being able to see and admit this does not mean one isn't a patriot. It just means one isn't an idiot.

oh, and before anyone objects to my use of wikipedia. Wikipedia is not the source of the data. Each linked article has plenty of citations including the original data sources.
