Looks like the Left is gearing up its propaganda machine to stop cuts in government worker pay, benefits and protections. The moment a Republican proposes even the most limited government worker salary or benefit cut, look for the MSM to unleash the sob stories about how some poor, dedicated government worker is about to get thrown out of his house and his children will starve because of the evil GOP.

I don’t think reporters who know their jobs hang by a thread are going to let them get away with this; it’s the one area where I think they may be alert to reality.

Screw the MSM.
When the taxpayer is unemployed, thrown out of their homes and their children starving that is the natural order of things?

I have a flash for the bureaucrats and those lovely public employees...

I certainly don't wish them ill, but an equal sharing of misery is the hallmark of the socialism they are foisting on the rest of us.

Its been my experience that Federal workers get better COLAs and Admin days off with a Republican administration... but I still can’t beat getting 2.5 weeks off, paid, when they shut government down in the 90s. SWEET!
