I had a neighbor retire several years ago. He was in his mid-50s. Long time federal worker.

Pension: $72,000.00 a year, with COLAs. He must be getting nearly $80,000.00 annually by now.

Why are these people getting COLAs in this environment.

500-thousand new jobless in America last week. :Millions and millions out of work since the Great Recession began.

The federal work force? Up 200,000.

Disgraceful.

Mr. Reagan used to say “Put the government in charge of something and watch it fall apart.”

Spot on.

Because the Porcine Collectivist squaters in the Farm House always take care of their own?   And why shouldn't they - they're the "brain-works" don't ya know...
