Anonymous Ranger Claiming National Park Service is Making Sequestration Cuts as Painful as Possible

With seven months to execute across the board 5% cuts, the National Park Service is culling some programs. One disgruntled and anonymous ranger approached Fox News to claim that the NPS is cutting the most popular interpretive programs and other highly visible park programs, making the cuts as painful for the public as possible. The reason?

“It’s obvious that they want the public to feel the pain in order to push this agenda that Washington wants,” the ranger said. “A lot of these parks can absorb these cuts without the public’s visit being affected.”

Now, I’m sure the NPS can play politics, but I also don’t think anyone who’s gone to school for a decade to get a low-paying job working in the National Parks is going to intentionally sabotage the entire operation.

    Do you really think the ones who went to school for 10 years and have the low-paying jobs are the ones making decisions?

    Good point. It’s the C students who run the world.
