You are assuming that all Federal employees make measurably more for their jobs that those in the private sector. Many do and many don't. If your company comes out and tells you that management has been screwing the pooch and in order to stop the illicit "sex", they decided to cut your wages while leaving their wages the same or higher, I have to suppose you would be all for it - even if you happened to be one of those who gave extra hours on a regular basis and worked his butt off to do his job.
No, I'm not assuming that at all, but I am assuming I don't CARE becasue this discussion is in the MACRO and you are arguing in the MICRO. I do assume you will not understand what I just said, and I further assume you don't really undertstand economics, the free market, nor the appropriate role of government and government employees in a free society. I assume you have decided you will never be anything more than a worker bee and that you assume anyone who reaches a level higher than that is somehow bad and somehow screwing the worker bee.
How do you like THEM assumptions?
There. Fixed that for you since you obviously haven't been living in the US since Bobo took office...
