Righties can slam Gov't workers all they want, but I wish they would reserve some vitriol for the private sector. Think of all the greedy corporations who barely pay their workers a living wage... assuming they haven't outsourced their jobs. All the money in salaries just goes to the top level execs like Mitt Romney.

If you are going to make claims, you are going to have to back therm up.

I'd be willing to bet many of those doing the most complaining don't even know what the federal retirement plan is.

This discussion has been brought up many, many times on here.

Exactly. Thank you. Seems to me that the private sector needs to step up their game, rather than bring the fed sector down to their level. Not happy with your pay/benefits? Leave and go where you will be. If that's with the feds, so be it.
