The 21st Century Iconoclast
by Bill Schmalfeldt (liberal)
About The Author
57-year old guy in Maryland with more than 30-years experience in the private sector as a journalist/broadcaster and six years as a writer/editor for the federal government. I retired last March after Parkinson\'s disease rendered me housebound. I am aghast at the direction the conservatives wish to take this country. I have more respect for the Libertarians, but they have to understand that human nature will never permit a truly libertarian government to exist. It never has, it never will. About The Column
I can\'t change anyone\'s mind. All I can do is present a progressive point of view -- which is woefully lacking on this site. I like to think of it as \"righting the wrongs of the right wing by writing.\" Or, at least, dying in the attempt. I will write about the foibles and faulty thinking of the conservative mind. I will turn over rocks and shine the light on the slimy things underneath them.

The loss of a government job is not a good thing. The taxpayer will save nothing. In fact, the unemployed former federal worker is now on the unemployment rolls. Where is the wisdom in that?
