“Out of all the federal workers I know personally (including my husband), only one is a loon as far as politics goes. The loon amongst them always votes for the weirdest third-party candidate there is and won’t vote for dems.”
Politics and voting are not the reasons to get rid of Federal employees.
We simply cannot afford them. They are overcompensated, over-benefited compared to the private sector (that pays for it all) and most of all they all retire as defacto millionaires.
So whether a federal employee “earns” their money or not, we can’t afford them. Your husband should figure out what he could do in the private sector, because he’ll need to know this in the likely event that a substantial number of federal employees lose their jobs.
“Politics and voting are not the reasons to get rid of Federal employees”
Okay. I was merely responding to some who paint with a broad brush and say that federal employees vote for democrats because they have to listen to the union thugs, and I said I don’t know any who do that but I do know one who votes for the weirdest candidate every time.
“they all retire as defacto millionaires”
You can’t possibly be serious, can you? Is it okay to tax us more since we are “defacto” rich? I’ll tell you what, if me and my husband ever depended totally on the federal govt for our living, we would not make it, let alone be thought of as a millionaire by anyone.
BTW, what we have, we’ve gotten on our own. We don’t waste money, and we invest. If we’re considered “millionaires” by anyone, it’s due to wise choices. Dems want to punish us for using that wisdom - conservatives should not even suggest it.
Anyway, thanks for the advice in the event my husband loses his job, but (fortunately?) his skills keep him busy. He already knows what he would do in the private sector because he has been doing it since he was a very young man.
