Amazing how Government Workers can afford the high Housing Costs living near D.C. and go out to party with their Coworkers at expensive Bars and Restaurants when they get off work.
Remember the Propaganda we used to hear about those poor Government Workers sacrificing because they could make a lot more money in the Private Sector?
I don’t call them Public Servants for a reason. Members of the Military are the only true Public Servants, especially the ones doing the fighting.
After all, they don’t have a crooked Government Employee Union backing them up.
“Remember the Propaganda we used to hear about those poor Government Workers sacrificing because they could make a lot more money in the Private Sector?”
It is propoganda and they truly believe it. They all think that with their ability and skills they’d be pulling down 200K in the outside world.
But they never leave. Any government worker over 50 will know to the day when they are going to retire.
As a veteran I have to point out that most of the people in the military are receiving a huge amount of benefits without doing a whole lot either. Most in the military never see actual combat. Alot of people in the military get disability when they get out.
i have met people who are on lifetime disability and they never even finished air force basic training. Obviously as a veteran I have no problem with people injured to combat getting disability, but a lot of other people are a different story.
When people we tell me thanks for your service, I often wondered if they realized how much I was be paid. With BAH, food allowance, free health care and a whole list of additional pays i received while being deployed i was far from poor.
