Social Security Employees Beware Of Rudolph Giuliani's Workforce Plans

Fedblog says that candidate Rudolph W. Giuliani was talking recently about the wave of retirements about to hit the federal workforce. About 42% of federal civilians will retire during the next two presidential terms. Giuliani's response: "Some politicians assume that we'll just replace all of them," he said. "I bet there are some politicians in the other party -- I don't know, maybe in ours -- that think we ought to increase them. . . . Here's what I would do: I would seek to replace only half of them."
