It has been more than 10 percent over the last years. Keep dumping on the hard workers.
I used to be a Fed employee, twice!
They are supposed to be our servants and they can do what I did, jump to the private sector to maximize my value from both the return to society and the return to me (they are related).
Like those folks who worked hard at Waco and Ruby Ridge?
At the EPA finding that CO2 is an endangerment?
That there are (private) financial organizations that are too big to fail (AIG, multiple venture capitalists)?
Give me a break. I say, cut all Federal Employees pay and Benefits package 5% each year. When people start quiting, then we will know what the real value of their jobs are worth.
