How busy are they collecting our data and private information?
How many more will be hired by the IRS to inflict Obamacare dictates on the nation?
At least they have jobs - permanent jobs it would seem.
there supposed to be public servants! The feds need to pay more for the benefits that they receive. businesses in the private sector have had to make cuts on benies, why not local, state and fed employees?
You can see the plans and cost here:

article only says they would be asked to add contributions but not what that level would become.
Complaining about pay freezes when nobody is getting raises and many can’t find jobs for 30 hours a week will justifiably find deaf ears except from the politicians who rely on their vote.
There is an intrenched idea out there that government and government “workers” should NEVER have to do with less. Even having to get by with the same for 2 yrs seems intolerable to them.
Yet when those of us in the private sector complain about taxes going up we are accused of whining....
Putting more people on Medicare is expensive.
Paying extended time on unemployment is expensive.
Adding more and more people to the Food Stamp program is expensive.
Advertising on television asking more people to get food stamps is expensive.
EBT cards are expensive.
Somebody has to pay for these things. We cannot expect to cut anything that brings in Democrat votes.
So we go after the workers. First we rip them off for Obamacare, then we raise their contribution to their retirement, then we cut the retirement.
And after all of this they expect the workers to vote for Democrats.
Hey, Mr. Cox: your employers (the taxpayers) find it entirely acceptable. If you don't like it, find a better package in the private sector. . .
They should really cut the budget and close the useless Energy Dept., Interior Dept., Commerce Dept., USDA, HHS, Education Dept. Let those who have fed from the feral government trough go find a job in the Obama economy. It’s obvious that these paper-pushers are over-paid when the five richest counties in the nation are clustered around Washington D. C.
Nothing but smoke and mirrors. Only talk about % change and not the actual cost and contributions... keep it confused and they can change the goal posts all the time.
$20 bil over how many years? Noting but a f__t in a whirlwind. Why waste time? Oh, this is all they can agree on.
Ineffective, lame, broken, useless government and politicians.
With incomes double those in the private sector, they can certainly afford it.
