Government workers.....

"I spoke with a fireman yesterday, and he has a one-bedroom apartment, and his wife is pregnant, and he can't afford a second bedroom," he said, referring to a visit to New York City. "I asked the firefighters I was meeting with, about 15 or them, how many had had to take another job to make ends meet, and almost every one of them had." (W.M.Romney)


"we will stop the unfairness of government workers getting better pay and benefits than the taxpayers they serve." (W.M. Romney)

Hey boy..how long have you rented a place to live in Manhattan..or anywhere else in NYC? days?..months?..never?

If yr making 250K a year, you are still going to live pretty lean and mean unless you are single and/or willing to live in a one-room efficiency.

Ask me how I know that.

Choices are what we make. Well..not you..but most people.

There is a tax levied on the men and women of civil service that is invisible to the outsiders. It is a mix of intangibles and very tangible material things. As one who has (just yesterday, against my will) left civil service, I can assure you that the payments out of hide are high indeed, gladly given by people who have committed to do the jobs necessary to support the nation. Outsiders can't understand because they haven't experienced it for themselves. Study is always a good alternative to expressing an opinion without research to substantiate it.

What? 30 days leave per year? Retire after 20 and go into something else like defense contracts?
