Even in well run organizations there is something called the 80/20 rule, 80% of the work is done by 20% of the workers.

Then why, again, does it look like they are going to increase the deficit by $500B?
It looks to me like your Republicans are the 80% firing the 20% that actually do the work. Unless you have any countering evidence that they are firing the RIGHT people?
But really this is just a Republican popularity contest. It is not about firing people who don't contribute. It is about firing anyone who disagrees with you.
It is interesting that the people who (apparently) actually do the work are ALSO the ones that disagree with Republicans. But, honestly, that has been obvious to anyone without ideological blinders on for years.

An official position is one that is clearly stated by the people that hold it. That is what makes it "official".
A position made up and assigned to someone by simple minded idiots with a emotional and reductionist view of the facts is about as far as you can possibly get away from an "official position".
