Government workers anxious about furloughs, sequestration, effects of bashing (Pity party...)

For most of their lives, federal workers in Mantua say, having “United States Treasury” atop their paycheck meant security, pride and a sense of mission. Things change: Now it means having to defend yourself against arguments, from strangers and even from your own relatives, that you’re an overpaid and underworked leech.

There is now a line on the SS application form that asks how much money you and/or spouse have in your 401K or IRA accounts.

I guess Obama is preparing to pull an Argentina and confiscate even more of our money.

That is what I am afraid of. My husband doesn’t want me to fill it out. He wants to just wait until he retires and see what happens. I am thinking of just filling it out and saying that I don’t have either a 401K or an IRA and that I am not privy to the information about my husband’s accounts because my name is not on them.

I must have missed all the concern expressed by Federal workers over the millions upon millions who have had their jobs shipped overseas. lost their jobs to obamacare, lost their wealth to the loan scam banksters, and who have lost their jobs to foreigners in the US. I worry the same about them.

From what I can see, they are happily following orders...violating the rights of Americans and robustly sexually molesting men, women and children at the airports. Fire them all.

Are they cutting the EBT cards 20%? After all, these people aren't even working a minute for the "free" money they get.

I didn't think so...

“Per week” is actually easier to type and has the benefit of accuracy.

You are wrong. The ignorance of so many loud-mouthed freepers on this subject is amazing.

Jimbo has no problem with our military being gutted. In addition to his rude treatment of you, he has shown himself to be an absolute POS!

The other day federal workers were on the Hill kvetching about Obama and his running dog lackeys not letting them enforce border control laws.

i didn't hear of a single Freeper complaining.

Which doesn't mean no one here doesn't complain about it, but where were the folks outside with pitchforks and torches supporting the ICE guys?

[SaraJohnson]

I don’t know of any Freepers who support illegal immigration. Are you on the right website? : )

ICE has left the border open for the invasion for DECADES - Republirats and Demonrats.

[muawiyah]

you missed the story.

Go find it and we'll talk.

Then you can explain why you ignored the story.

If you care’d about illegal aliens invading our nation you’d been on top of this one so i don’t believe your concern . Maybe it was ‘cause he’s was an ICE union guy!!!?????!!!! So some of us hate union guys so bad we’d let America get flushed down the drain rather than raise a hand to help them out at this trying time in our history.
