Here's a thought...
Maybe the people that wrote this BYOD report aren't the same people that chose the $800 toilet seats for the military and set up Obamacare. And perhaps the validity of this report has nothing at all to do with the reason there's a 16 trillion dollar national debt. A crazy thought, I know!
I don't live in America, but I'm guessing the number of people working in government jobs is at least in the hundreds of thousands. Using the term "they" doesn't actually make them the same people.
