It’s even worse than the salary figures. Federal employees have more holidays than private sector employees, and they are nearly impossible to fire.
He who has the money controls all. It won’t be DC, they are broke. It won’t be the six states ala NY and CA currently broke. The house of cards will fall. It’s matter of time. The states that get their fiscal houses in order will rule the day. Sort of like 13 colonies ... ;)
Don’t count on any large-scale shift in politics in 2010.
The scu&bags who are in office now are nothing but a reflection of the scu&bags who voted them into office.
(Scu&bags love scu&bags dontcha know.)
IMHO
Nelson Mandella was a Communist thug and racist and if it can be believed his odious wife Winnie was even worse.
May God bless the Republic of Greater Texas.
Great article by Murdock...thanks for posting...BECAUSE...it leads to this OUTSTANDING thread!
Thanks to all posters.
When, in the course of human events,...
Having spent some time in DC, you could fire 90% of the nonmilitary Federal employees and NEVER miss them. Do we really need a FEDERAL department of education or energy?
Government doesn’t create jobs, it creates liabilities.
I’m up for a revolt!
I agree with you. Many of the Departments and etc were created by Congress, but guess who determines who goes to Congress, we the voters. Do you know how many times I had to remind soccer moms who complain that their husbands take home pay is eaten up by local, state and fed taxes? I have to ask them remember you supported that program for the children, what do you think will happen to your husband’s paycheck when Congress did what you wanted?
..remember necklacing?
“Barricade ‘em inside the Beltway, and take a can of bug spray to anything that tries to slither back out”.
I think there’s a secret tunnel to the outside hidden in the basement of the WH.
You got that right. Winnie ought to be in prison for murder.
I most certainly do! To quote that b!tch Winnie “With our necklaces we will free our country’’.
>Nothing horribly went wrong, it reflects changing times in the private sector due to globalism and free trade.
I disagree, free trade should have little impact on the US-government other than generating importation-taxes & tariffs. Globalism, as defined by dictionary.com is: “the attitude or policy of placing the interests of the entire world above those of individual nations” - this is CONTRARY to the purpose of our government, which is to maximize our INDIVIDUAL freedoms and liberties.
Simply put, globalism is to government what the environmentalism-movement is to the environment: they care little about the environment and want only to control you. It is morally equivalent for a government-worker to be a globalist as it is for someone to say they are concerned about Africa and yet never do anything IN Africa, even second-hand.
>The proper comparison is majority of fed workers are technical and office workers.
Are you disqualifying contractors from your statement here, or including them? That statement also doesn’t address work-ethic/efficiency: the government could ‘create’ technical jobs by classifying the tasks a copy-boy does as technical and breaking it up into a job for: loading paper into the machine, loading toner into the machine, making copies, destroying copies, and repairing the machine.

>The only way a private sector worker can avoid this fate is to make it into management, especially in the executive inner management and staff where your CEO patron can screw up and everyone still gets a bonus and be shielded from layoffs.
Eh, and what does it take to get fired from a government job? John Murtha can apparently slander ANYBODY with impunity because he is a ‘federal employee.’ Rangle can ignore the very tax-laws he wrote. The head of the Department of Homeland Security can say “the system worked” when it is manifestly obvious that it did NOT work. The Congress can pass contra-constitutional laws with impunity: this health-care bill, retroactive taxations, bills of attainder, and so forth.
Add the money spent on useless vaccines and the very real threat of forced vaccinations for all of us in 2010, thus robbing the American People of life, liberty, and quite possibly our lives as those toxins start to spew poison into our bodies.
The very same elements that disabled so many of our vets are in the H1N1 and the fallout in the form of miscarriages, ill health, and long term cancers, MS, and AIDS like disease and you have the globalists perfect storm...
