All good things have to end. These folks have had it pretty soft for ever.
Government holidays, cushy retirement at 55 and health care. Enough is enough.
What have they created - nothing.

You link refers to 800,000 Defense Department civilians. You are claiming that these are lazy loafers who do nothing? Most of these work on bases supporting our troops. It will affect 11,000 at Fort Bliss. This includes medical/nursing staff, food services workers, maintenance workers, and technical/systems support. These are hardly cushy jobs and many are low wage jobs. Demonizing these folks is not a winning political move.
The vast majority of government employees who work for less than their private sector counterparts are NOT in the same category as your elected officials. Most are very dedicated and hard working. They're the ones who are going to be punished because of political posturing.

Actually, that's what Democrats intend to do. Punt the ball until the end of the disaster that is Barack Hussein Obama. $20 Trillion is a number they are willing to have concern over..... once a Republican gets in office. They could care less about it while Hussein is in office. That's why liberals are the scum of the earth.
