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.

Thank you for saying that my FRiend. I have worked for the DoD for over 30 years as an Engineer doing R&D work. I have been in on the "ground floor" for several weapons systems that are currently deployed. The two most notable are Tomahawk and AEGIS. There are countless numbers of us who have worked thousands of unpaid hours over the span of our careers to get these systems (and many others) operational and into the hands of our warfighters. We did it out of dedication to our nation and not for personal gain.

Ever work at a Federal shipyard, EPA, Army Corp...? For every one "workers" there are two holding a chair down and drinking coffee.

Yeah, it’s the 99.9% that are rotten that, unfortunately, give all of you a bad name.

Oh, and not just lazy thieves. Some (MANY!) are malevolent abusers of our rights. ALL the DOE, or instance; ALL the EPA, ALL Dept of Labor, ALL IRS, ...
