of all the people that get killed in this country, I cannot understand how some of the worst among us still walk around freely and unafraid. I want to see a red dot on every one of their foreheads.

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?
