Hey, I won't deny the federal government has become bloated and needs to be scaled back in many areas, but to "throw the baby out with the bathwater" is a bit much.

I'm just a lowly admin clerk struggling to make ends meet and to see the vitriol on this website for anyone associated with the federal government is a bit hard to take, especially when I agree with a lot of the sentiment that is expressed.

So when the idea of parring back the government workplace is floated, don't forget to put a human face on it and realize that not all of us who work for the government are overpaid cockroaches feeding off the tax payers.

I thiknk the real key is getting the fedgov reigned back into it’s constitutional constraints. If it’s not Authorized by Article 1 Section 8 then the fed gov does not need to be doing it.

(And oddly enough, most of the “liberal” type workers just happen to work in those unconstitutional agencies.)
