80,000 per year pension these federal employees recieve for 20 years of doing nothing.
Am I to understand that you believe that government employees do nothing but sit on their back sides and drink coffee all day for 20 years, stealing money from Americans who work in the private sector then leave the country to “live like millionaires” in another country.
I don’t know who you have talked with, but not all government employees are lazy or thieves. Those of us in the medical fields work our butts off everyday of the year we are at work, short staffed most of the time and do the job of two or three people. Most of us provide care to our veterans and active duty soldiers, marines, sailors and airmen, and strive to give them the best care that we can and that they deserve.
Many of us are retired or former military, or disabled veterans who still want to serve our country. We work for the different departments of the military or defense. Many of us work for a living and we are proud of our country’s history and the legacy we have forged with our blood, sweat and at times, tears.
Don’t lump us all together with those who get elected to a job they say they will do then do nothing for 2-6years, then after one term, retire with full pay and benefits.
To get an $80,000 per year pension you'd need to have been a top end appointee, SES, or General grade officer for at least 3 years plus have most of your life spent in a federal position ~ which places you among the very few.
Remember average entry into federal service is at age 35!
It's far more likely that a pensioner with $80k would have worked for a state or couny highway department ~ and is probably barely literate.
