As a Patriot, I feel it is time to give all our hard working Federal Employees a big pat on the back, and a twenty percent raise.

Working as a Team, our Federal Government pulled the US out of what was meant to be an economic depression.

Also, if the US employed more people, there would be fewer unemployed people in America.

Tongue-in-cheek, I presume.

Why thank you! I appreciate the sentiment and I accept!

(I know you're being sarcastic...don't go believing all Federal Workers get a huge chunk of change with each paycheck...cause not all of us do.)

Hey I think we should give them 12 weeks paid vacation, they work so hard, and we could hire more people!

Love your posts Joe, always full of BS. Problem is so many people take them serious.

Just think if we all worked for the Govt we would have 0% unemployment. Free food stamps, free gas, free, free free. I want it and deserve it now.

A loan of printed money at zero percent interest without risk underwriting.

Only five banks with a terrible credit history need apply.

Sounds like good business!!!

Putting aside your socialism propaganda, government employees used to earn half private sector wages in exchange for consistent work.
Used to be 1-100 people worked for some kind of government in the 60s and now it is 1-9 which is unsustainable.
I think the Federal employees should make 80% of the private sector.
Any pension/ss should be limited to what SS would be for others and that would be all.
Remember, these are the people's taxes employing here, it isn't meant to be a boondoggle.

The Buffett Rule should help government employees pay for a few well deserved conventions, and have fun.
