Govt workers are mostly mini-madoffs with their pay, benes, and expectations.
I have no doubt that many government workers are honorable and work very hard. That, however, does not mean their jobs are necessary.
As a federal retiree, I have to live frugally and watch my money. I am relieved to finally get a COLA after three years of no COLA. A pox on those who throw stones at us and want to decrease our medical and pension benefits. You did not do our jobs. Probably a lot of you thought our jobs were beneath you. Sorry you are not happy with your choices in life but you could have chosen differently and did not, so do not try to take my modest retirement from me or you will find the entire federal and postal labor force will pull the Democratic lever and not care how many illegal alien trucks roll over the border.
