There's little empathy here for federal employees.
If I may, that is pure BS. There are no Federal Employees, they are in fact Taxpayer Supported Employees. That includes Obama and his Merry Gang of Stalinists.
People here see a bloated Government that wastes Tax Dollars, the same dollars that the hard working American People sweat and toil to earn day in and day out.
If a Federal Job is necessary, no problem from any FReeper I know of. It's the wasteful spending promoted by the Democrats and the Federal Labor Unions (that even FDR warned against) that makes Conservatives more than a bit cranky.
Don't take the Freeper criticisms of the Federal Leviathan personally. If you are here there is little doubt that you understand the concept of earning your Salary and giving us, your Employers, an honest day's work for an honest day's wage. And yes, I know you are a Taxpayer as well.
