You want to hear the dems scream? After 30 days being off the job all those gov employees can be terminated. Good way to reduce the size of government. Just bring back enough to make the gov. function if those working work full time actually work full time. Get rid of the laid back slackers that know they cant be fired. Good job chuck and nancy in reducing the size of government.
Nope

Poll your Red States and you will find out.
 
"It is self preservation, because Trump is dead in the water if he doesn't build that wall. Dead, dead, dead"
 
Good for you.

Oh and no one cares about you if you happen to be curious.

It HAS affected millions of Americans...and more and more every day

Pony the fuck up then..............and end it..........Hardly a drop in the bucket to what those career wankers waste all the time.............this isn't a waste.......

So..............Fuck you.........keep it down.
 
yet a lazy piece of shit like you still works for them...seems you are not telling us the truth


You know absolutely nothing about my life or my career, so your opinion is a pile of steaming excrement.

and the same can be said about you and 99.9% of the government workers...yet you have no problem piling on your steaming excrement post after post after post.
Now Mr ‘I’m a Libatarian’ spends all his time defending the outlandish salaries of government workers.

Another closet busted.

Most do not have outlandish salaries, most are no different than anyone else, they just want to do their jobs and provide a living for their families. Morons like you that demonize them all based on the actions of a few and the words of your party masters.

I would love to see the Fed workforce cut by 25% at least, but done in an orderly manner that does not fuck anyone over like you Trump sheep are cheering about now.
Are you kidding? DC region is one of the wealthiest in America. The ONLY region that property values never dropped in the 08 recession.

Who in the private sector gets full salary and benefits at retirement today?

I can never decide if you are just really stupid or if you put on an act for this forum.

Less than 15% of the Fed non-military workforce works in DC. So, yeah the folks in DC make way too much money, but they are not your average Fed worker.

Fed workers do not get full pay upon retirement. If they work 25 years they get 25% of the high 3 years of pay.
 
Sounds like private sector employers are short changing their employees. Shocker. Criticizing middle class workers but letting the 1 percent off Scott free....well well

B'loney. Except for employees with professional/doctorate level educations, the pay and benefits for Federal employees exceeds the private sector. The fallacy that they are paid less for the job security is bunk.

President Proposes 1% Pay Increase for Federal Workers

That does not tell the whole story, the Fed workforce tends to be older and more experienced. Almost half of the Fed workforce is over the age of 50, there are very few entry level jobs in the Fed Govt, thus their average wage is higher, but if you compare like years of experience the difference is gone.

More than 70% of the Fed workforce is over the age of 40 with 15 to 40 years of experience under the belt.

Almost a month and nobody’s noticed they are missing.
 
How does that compare to private industry of the same type of job?
1.4% for private sector.
From your link...

What we don't know is how those percentages compare to the private sector. The Department of Labor Statistics estimate the private sector laid off or discharged about 1.4 percent of its workforce during 2014 — but those are not all for performance reasons.
And your point?

Until a couple of years ago Federal employees could sleep or watch porn for 8 hours a day and could not get fired.
Prove it.
Dozens of Federal Workers Watch Abundance of Porn on the Job

Porn Still Turning Up in the Federal Workplace Despite Ban

Wow, 0.0048% of the Fed workforce got away with watching porn on their computers and you want to condemn them all.
 
Their salaries and benefits an envy of most Americans working in the private sector.

Can’t get fired for poor performance.

Retirement packages that are extinct in the private sector. Most Americans have to save to be able to retire, government workers do not.



Let the shutdown continue. They don’t like it, get a job in the private sector.
Jealous? I sense some Gubmint Worker-Bee Envy goin' on here... :21:

Says the Dufus who didn’t even know Fed workers could watch porn on the job and couldn’t be fired.

Who in the private sector gets 25% and benefits for life after working just 25 years?

WHO?

Not true, you god in the White House is calling back more and more each week to keep anyone from noticing.

And I can tell you from first hand experience the farmers and ranchers have missed them.

They are getting POed about not getting their trade mitigation payments, their crop insurance payments and their USDA backed loans so they can buy seed, and the data from last years crops so they know what to plant this year.

So, farmers are not in the private sector?

with each new post your ignorance just become that much more obvious.
