Exactly my point, these are jobs that were budgeted for... 6months later no choice but to layoff 200 people. Thats good government.

Oh and the 50% are going to another department is spin/damage control, you don't announce laying off more than you are. You would move 100 quietly and announce a 100 layoff.
