It is always Seniors, Vets, and Federal Workers who are targeted. Can you imagine a Senior Citizen who retired from the military and federal government. That poor guy will be screwed three times for giving of himself his entire life. Pitiful.

When has there ever been a general lay off or reduction in force of the federal work force?

Sucking at three tits makes one an easy target.

Eh, if and when we get a conservative, he can begin by simpling putting a number of useless agencies on two day work weeks to save money. Peace Corps, National Endowment for the Arts, National Endowment for the Humanities, Corporation for Public Broadcasting, EEOC, much of the EPA, Dept of Education, civilian infrastructure withing the DoD...so much can be cut. All of the EO and diversity coordinators within the federal government gone. All non-military pay frozen, to include step raises and COLA’s. There is so much that can be done.

Other than military, no government pension should ever exceed 50% of the person's highest salary (excluding overtime).

I have no pity for Federal workers. Some are hard-working, many are leeches.

They get an entire career with a good salary and great benefits, and no accountability (can't be fired) and then they retire at 70 or 80% of salary -- all paid for by tax payers.

It's got to stop.

“It is always Seniors, Vets, and Federal Workers who are targeted.”

You forgot the /s (sarcasm) tags. Federal employees have received a windfall of compensation in the last 10 years. There have been many studies indicating that total compensation of federal employees is much higher (50 to 100 percent) than private sector employees. The military has done very well also. The military should be higher priority than federal workers.

Your comment is laughable, especially given that it occurred in the FR, not the DU. Total compensation for federal workers is an important part of government spending that must be addressed. Unfunded liabilities for federal pensions is $5 trillion with $300 billion added each year.
