All I'm saying is that if people are looking at this of a sign of something, this isn't it.
I work in public safety, we always get reimbursed for OT occurred when shit like big snow storms, hurricanes, etc hit because our Gov declares a state of emergency on the state level. If we didn't then when hurricane season rolls around, or winter hits, we'd blow through our fiscal budget at the start of the fiscal year or half way through it.
Same principle here, just at the federal level.
I could be wrong about this being a sign of something happening I really could be, and God I hope I am, but I'm just applying common sense and my almost decade in public safety here and understand what this means for the local public safety/service agencies of DC.
I don't disagree with you one bit.
