America is the kindest nation on Earth!
Very possibly the best description of Congress I’ve read in a long time!
I'm a retired Fed employee and it is difficult to get a Fed job, mainly because a lot of hiring is done based on who you know and not what you know. I have seen this throughout my work life in the Navy, as a contractor, and as an Editor on the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Trying to get hired at the VA is especially hard as most of their job advertisements hire from within the VA. When I retired from the Navy in 1996, I was offered a government position in the building I was working at, but foolishly declined. Did not have to apply for the job, fill out a resume, or anything. A Captain said a position was opened and they were going to give it me. Biggest mistake I ever made not taking the job. It took me 13 years to get a government position after that.
Here ya go -- THESE are the "Senile Senior Citizens" the article is about:


Its not a parody if its real.
