Of course, they’re feeling the rise in the cost of living the man they voted for caused. Now they want a raise.

"Some 277,000 workers -- 14% of the federal work force -- could lose their jobs in the next 12 months if the U.S. cannot avoid the cliff,"

That is a sickening thought... that THAT many people work for the federal government. And the fat piggies want even more ! morE ! moRE ! mORE ! MORE ! We need to slay this beast before it slays us. Demand a Balanced Budget Amendment NOW !

Wait til sequestration takes effect.

They’ll be losing their jobs, too.

Dumb tools.

There will be no cuts and federal workers won’t be fired but they will get a raise. All obama has to do is sign an EO and it becomes law. Then Bernanke prints money and they all get a raise. What they’re too damn dumb to understand is that they will get more dollars, but the dollars won’t buy as much. But, hey, they work for the government. They don’t have to be smart.

A girl I know worked for social security admin. for 10 years and gets 3k/month retirement from it. She also gets s/s from other jobs. On top of this she is now filthy rich - just sold a 2.7M house which is only a portion of her real estate.
And...she and her husband are Obama supporters, think he’s done a good job, and I was told this week that she brags that they don’t pay taxes because she knows the loopholes.

Not sure how she justifies all this but doubt she loses a second of sleep over it.

Once again... The Federal Government has become a nation
state unto itself. It is NOT a government OF the people.. it
is a government wholly APART from the people.

It will rule us like a country that it has invaded and
conquered and occupied. It will confiscate as much money from
us as it sees fit to, just like war reparations.

We ARE NOT free. We are no better off than we were under
King George in 1776.

Let the automatic cuts Happen.

Let the bush tax cuts expire.

Show America what they voted for.

At this stage of the game the best thing that could happen is a complete collapse of economy, the dems would get credit for that, and we (the working people) would get the gubmint reset we so desperately need.

I know there would be much suffering, financial loss, and loss of human life, however, that is the quickest way back to freedom from here.

Like I said in another post, so far we’ve had several of the mega rich renounce their citizenship and leave the country to avoid the mega-taxes. I would too rather than allow communists to steal my money. I imagine this is going to happen or has happened much like people storming a door in a movie theater on fire, especially before the communists come up with a law to steal it even if they do renounce. So where is the admitted foreign born unconstitutionally elected Kenyan going to get all this money to pay his minions in our new communist government?

Of course they do.

Despite the roaring economy, there is trouble out there.

Now pay your taxes - your hard working government needs a raise. :)

We could fire half of them cut the pay of the rest by half and the country would run even smoother.

Funny, I’m a federal employee and I’m wondering if I’ll have a job next year.

Except for the cuts to the military, the more I read about sequestration the more I like it.

277,000 federal workers out of jobs. Love it.

While I understand the sentiments, I get a bit miffed when I see these stories because not all of us are the leeches that federal workers are depicted as (while many are leeches, not all of us fit the description). Many of us are no different than the rest of the work force. I’m retired AF and now a DOD employee. While I would love to not have had my pay frozen the past couple years, I’m one of the minority that understands that I need to be grateful for a job and I pay taxes the same as everyone else. I think we need to make serious cuts in the number of federal workers and only hope (like any sane person) that my job isn’t one of those that gets cut. I am a supervisor in a shop that trains our military to prepare them for their career. The folks that I work with are mainly hard workers with a solid work ethic. Our areas have taken on a bigger and bigger load and have less people to do the job - a few are being treated for stress and depression and we expect it to get much worse when sequestration triggers - I still want it to happen to induce as much pain as possible and start to wake people up, even if it results in me losing my job. I’m 60, but know I can find some way to make a few bucks and keep my wife in a home instead of moving into our cars. The problem is that we all get lumped into the same ugly pot as those who consider their pay to be a right even if they opt out of working for it.

Hell is four more years of Obama and a few million Federal “workers” b!tching about not getting paid enough. So many idiots and useless AA hires in the Federal ranks. We could easily get by with half the number, keep the competent ones and fire the lard arses. Get rid of Federal Departments like Education and EPA. Of course this won’t happen with Obama back in

I feel sick with 0 back in
