And just who was President when a lot of this tremendous inflation in federal employee wages and benefits occurred? None other than the “compassionate conservative” GW Bush. His Defense Secretary, Rumsfeld, specifically had a list of DoD civilians who could fly first class at taxpayer expense. How many private sector employees do you know who can do this?
You don’t know what you are talking about it. You have any links to support your wild claims? I happen to know that government salaries have risen more under the democrats and Obama than during the Bush years. Yes...President Bush increased alot of benefits for our military and soldiers.....not state unionized SEIU cops and firefighters, who should be paid by the states only! I have no problem paying our soldiers at war bigger salaries and benefits! Perhaps our cops,teachers and firefighters should offer up some of their salaries for our military?? (eye roll)
I am sick of cops,firefighters and teachers being some kind of protected class! If that sounds terrible...I don’t care. Sick of all these government folks greed...especially those down on Wall Street and across the country protesting the people who pay their damn greedy salaries!!!
There...I said it!
End rant...LOL!
GW is one of those enigmas.
Yuh wanna hate him for much he did but, there was a lot he did we are grateful for.
Still, spending our loot for stoopid social programs and extravagant perks was unbelievable.
