ouch

so much hate and bitterness directed at a person who processes mail on a military installation. The civilianization of many military functions has gone on for a long time and civilian workers have not only been a force extender, but have saved a lot of guys from being drafted and reduced a lot of overhead defense dollars for turnover and training.

guess lots of you want her to get a real job, like flippng burgers or selling shoes or grooming pets. What is an “essential” civilian job anyway? Or go on unemployment like a lot of folks in upstate NY ...

there is a lot of pain coming to ordinary people in the civil service who get up and go to work every day to feed their kids, who used to be accepted as our neighbors friends and fellow citizens, who even felt like they were serving a greater cause even if in a small way, like sorting soldiers’ mail

If Uncle Sam wants to cut back, then eliminate terminate or trim programs and agencies. Don't just stop paying workers.
A lock-out is a lock-out and it sucks, no matter what employer does it

obama the great uniter and his merry band of alinsky marxists has managed to to make the entire federal civil service, mostly middle class, an object of contempt and scorn among the rest of the American middle class...along with Wall Street, banks, mortgage companies, insurance companies, oil companies, coal companies, drug companies, the Chamber of Commerce, and small businesses

who are they coming to dehumanize next?

Simple fact: We need to cut federal spending.

That means that some people will lose their jobs. It means some families will suffer. That is a true shame, but it is absolutely unavoidable.

Some so-called "Conservatives" want spending to be cut -- just so long as no one loses their job, no benefits are cut, and no changes are made in how government does business.

Well ... change is gonna come.

Thats what the fight is all about, Repubs are trying to cut and dems are having a tizzy-fit. I worked for the Feds fro 30 years and had lots of no-pay shut-downs but I was always prepared no matter what, when or how. This punk should be too!
