This is the battle.

Fight this one, now. Government is too darn big, and too darn expensive.

Cut government.

“Don’t cut mine, don’t cut thine’s- cut that man behind the pine’s.”

To rephrase the old adage...

I just looked up the average salary for a mail carrier ... 48K plus, just to put advertisements in my mail box. Outrageous.

“Don’t you dare tax me! Tax that guy over there!” Soon to replace “In God We Trust” on our currency.

This must be a joke.

But then again unions are exempt from 0-care, expmpt from the confiscation of union retirement plans, while forcing regular IRA’s and 401K’s to ‘invest’ in Treasury debt (per a pending Harry Reid bill), unions even get a piece of Gen Motors while the bondholders get royally scrood.

On second thought the joke may once again be on us.

Listen for all the talk about “budget cuts” that will be coming in this “Fiscal Cliff Deal”. There will be no “budget cuts”, who do they think we are, stupid or something? Sheesh.
Tax rates will go up, and so will federal spending, the deficit, the National Debt, and certainly unemployment, but the only things that will be coming down are real tax revenues, and the GDP.

RE :”Top Democratic lawmakers on committees related to the federal workforce told Government Executive last week that they would like to leave federal-employee benefits out of any potential debt deal. After President Obama’s reelection, top federal unions said they were confident their members would not be targeted in such a deal and a pay raise would be instituted. “

True story: My neighbor worked here as a federal employee for Medicare and he retired getting a buy out (they dont lay off there) in his early 50s. As part of it the gubment gave him retirement health care at that age early 50s which is similar benefits as Medicare we MAY get at 65 or 66. And he got it under under Bush.

Isn’t that great?

Medicare is running huge deficits NOW that neither party will admit and this guy gets it in his early 50s for working for Medicare/Fed job to GET RID OF HIM. And that is ‘off the table’.

“Federal and postal employees...struggling during these tough times just like other Americans,” the group wrote”

I’m all out of patience for liars so, f-off.

This article is about gov workers in Greece, right?

A pay freeze, horrors! How about the private sector where some have learned to live on 40% less income since Bams took office, and the huge number of small business owners that haven’t taken a paycheck in the last 10 months.

".......would not be targeted .......and would get a pay raise."

Yes, cut Social Security benefits and Medicare, those programs where non-governmental employees have actually contributed to their benefits -" no cuts to us just cut them!"
