Being a taxpayer does not inherently make one an expert on anything, perhaps except delusional should one think so.

I know several government workers, and not one of them works a full week. One "works" from home 4 days a week, another "works" from home 3 days a week, and the other "works" from home 2 days a week. In other words, the MOST any of them have to work is 3 days a week, and they all earn $120k - $145k.

They run all sorts of errands, go shopping, watch their kids at soccer games, even go to the movies. And get this: One of them actually told me that if I want to chit-chat to please call her during the telework day (when she's at home) rather than during the evening when she's relaxing on her own time. How crazy is that?

OMG! You didn't even read the article. Everyone is still getting a paycheck. The only thing not being given is the 2.1% across-the-board pay raise. READING IS FUNDAMENTAL!!!

Yup. Cut their pay 10% and layoff 20% of them. The USA would be much better off.


Trump is being very very good to them.

I’m calling BS unless you can substantiate your claims with proof, or at least some details. What are their professions, dear?

It looks like he thought that you wouldn’t tell us your “essential” position. And if so, then he was right.

Another person that didn't read the OP's linked article. No one is missing a paycheck. They simply aren't getting a 2.1% raise.

Maybe because I don’t work for the government, nor have I made a statement claiming so?
