ALTERNATE VERSION

(CNNMoney) -- CNNMoney workers' jobs will be under fire if Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan win November's election.

CNNMoney management has made it clear that they think CNNMoney workers had better get off of their duffs and start attacking Romney and Ryan with any apoplectic hyperbole, distortions and outright lies they can think up.

Also, federal unions, in particular, say they're concerned about that dirty b*****d Ryan, saying he has a record of "exposing" Leftist vote buying, pay-offs and thousands of layabouts on the federal payroll. We can't have that!

Federal workers' pay has been frozen at 2010 levels, a level that is far too high considering that federal workers do practically no work. If Obama wins in November, expect even less work than in the past, but far more spending on trips to Las Vegas. Woo hoo!

“federal workers’ pay has been frozen...” is not a completely correct statement. The current federal employees are not getting “raises”, but they are gettiing “step increases” for longevity and promotions. That is not exactly a “hard freeze”.

As long as the fedgov is borrowing 40cents out of every dollary spent, a hard freeze would be appropriate - maybe even a 10% cut. That’s not “fair” ... but a real unemployment rate of 15% is not fair either.
