The incoming chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee has been outspoken about his plans to cut federal employees’ pay and pensions.

House and Senate first.

Well ain’t that the pot calling the kettle black. Congress can and has voted their own pay raises and perks and are exempt from what the commoners have to live by.

Do as I suggested for Congress 10 years ago.

Pay them at or near minimum wage for the privilege of serving, and only two years per term and bar every one of them from running for another office or moving into another government position. Abolish all government unions. They get none or bare minimum heath benefits like the private sector. Outside of national security type issues, no closed door meetings ever. They get retirement based on their two years of service. That's it. Back to the private sector for them.

We'll pay for their travel, no first class, cover some food expenses and give them 400 bucks per month for housing for the privilege of serving.

Every six months investigate their finances.

Everything outside of national security issues should be recorded and available for public, even their phone calls, computer emails while conducting their duties. No perks, no bull sh*t travel, no big expenses, no bribes, no favors, zip.

This is just a start of what needs to happen to these people in D.C.

Don’t do that, just do what Walker did. Give them a choice. End the union monopoly.

Penny plan modified.

Every employee, official, agency, department, everything and everyone, gets a 1% cut every fiscal year for the next 10 years. Even the military. Everything and everyone.

If anyone doesn’t like it, leave and get a job elsewhere. For active duty, permit immediate sep. fm service.

I would add one item to the list. All government employees that have past due income taxes should be terminated and whatever tax is owed be taken from their accumulated vacation and retirement fund.

Here’s an idea.....the federal workers get to keep their pay and bennies but to do so, each department needs to cut their headcount by 33 %

Watch the long knives came out....

Even cutting the workforce by a third, I don’t think anybody wil be over burdened....

If they are....BFD....I now do the work of what three people did in 2008...

I like this guy. He should start by cutting out all the employees paid for by the taxpayer to represent the union on government time.
