You attempt to refute my second reply with “civilian” employees. Nongovernment workers.
I feel like I am talking to a 3 year old.
I have news for you. Federal Civilians that work for the Dept of Defense are "government workers."
All I asked of you was to not make sweeping, generalization statements that put FBI agents or Navy Engineers in the same category as the teachers union strikers in Chicago. We have enough disinformation from MSNBCCBSCNNABC as it is.
Apparently, that was too hard for you. In terms of goring someones ox, I could assume about you as well - (i.e. entitlement taker, greedy Social Security taker, etc). But then, I would stoop to your level.
I have news for you pal - the world is exploding in rage and violence - and we are on the edge of another war. Most people don't even have a clue how close we really are to that brink. Do you want to see the military might of this nation eviscerated even further so that we can put a few more million people on Social Security Disability, perpetual "unemployment", and Food Stamps? There seems to be an endless pile of money for that, doesn't there? In fact, the "deal" that the Republicans and Demoncrats gave us to raise our debt ceiling exempted every single giveaway entitlement program.
I had you nailed in my previous post - you don't know the facts, and don't care.
You have your simplistic, petulant notions, and that's your gospel.
You’re awfully defensive, SkyPilot.
Alright, you win. The Federal Government has been the very model of probity and fiscal responsibility. There are no call-in jobs, no union grievancemeisters, the pay is piddling and benefits? What benefits? Why, you idiots out there don’t know what it’s like living in fear of the next zero percent raise, it’s just terrible I tell you. And have you seen the price of arugula lately? /s
Whistling past the graveyard is what you’re doing.
