Would these be the federal workers that owe billions in unpaid income taxes? Help my memory out here.
Hmmmm. I contribute 100% to my retirement fund.
Waaah.

Just like the risk of a losing hand for a gambler, or a market crash for a broker, one of the hazards of a public-sector job is that you live and die by the budget. The perqs are there to make up for it; as a private-sector worker, I had nothing like the retirement plans, healthcare options, and seniority promotions that public workers get.
They won the election.
They’ll get their way.
Have a nice day. :)
No doubt it’s indispensible to the national weal to have all those mail order catalogues and supermarket circulars stuffing citizens’ mail boxes.
It might not be the rate but the shear number of federal employees. Productivity increases would be nice and cuts in those dopey web sites advertising their greatness would help too.
They bleed the taxpayer ‘til he dies of blood loss.
When they can’t get any more blood from him they curse him out for being so inconsiderate of their needs.
Fed “workers” should be Top. Of. The. Cost-Saving. List.
10% across the board cuts. EVERY organization can manage through a 10% personnel cut.
Wonder how many non-defense related government positions have been cut over the past four years?
Federal workers have us on the hook for their health, pensions, and early retirements until they die. But thats not enough

Damn. Sorry about that. It is such a shame that life gives you choices and you seem to make the wrong ones. Was it that you could not get hired with the federal government? Sorry about that.
Let them out. Close their offices. Sell their computers and iphones. Get rid of over 50% of civilian government workers.
They usually have three things on their desks: their feet and a box of Hostess Twinkies.
Many of them are twinkies.
“Federal workers also contributed $15 billion toward the budget in 2011...”
Gov workers are NOT taxpayers.
Well said.

Mainly it’s the Federal workers that write new regulations faster than the lawyers can read them. They’re also the ones that vote heavily Democrat.
Shut down the postal service and let FedEx and UPS battle over the mail.
