Rot is right. No secret most fed employees are Democrats. At the state level here too. Part of the problem, I'm convinced, is the federal employees union. This union has created, or made worse, the us versus them attitude for government workers and that's unhealthy, IMHO.
I read awhile back that the federal workers unions are the only thing keeping national unions as strong as they are today. This dovetails into what Rush talks about when he says we have to add big-government to big-business or big-labor. Or, that it has become tax payers versus tax money recipients, which includes workers.
I always wondered about staff vs civil service....Linda Tripp was kept on by Bill Clinton. The historical knowledge angle makes sense....
Excellent and scary post.
It a pity it is so hard for so many voters to grasp just what upward pressure there is structured into Govt spending. We really need STRUCTURAL restrain written into the law to just level the playing field!
My husband does NOT belong to the union...but works for the United States Postal Service...
You are SO correct when you say most are Democrats...he says he is amazed at how visceral the hate for Bush is where he works. Whenever he asks some of the people he works with WHY the hate Bush so much...
It is the dem talking points "went to war for oil"..."racist"...blah, blah...
