Isn’t “Government worker” an oxymoron?
When someone said to me the other day I work for the federal government I said I thought federal government worker was an oxymoron. He just laughed. And he's a big liberal.
There are federal workers who do good work. I know contractors for the defense department who intelligent, hard working and conscientious. I know workers at NIST who are very intelligent and work very hard.
And don't forget the employees at the DOE who refused to approve the Solyndra loan guarantee and accurately predicted the company would go bankrupt.
There are good federal workers out there but so many of them do little or nothing and nothing happens to them.
