Our public servants masters take good care of themselves while channeling Marie Antoinette and saying to Americans "Let them eat bugs!"

“ to make up for COVID, Trump“

What BS, the inflation started the moment that worthless traitor Biden took office and spent his first day signing EO’s the rats had in the drawer for 4 years.

They got their annual pay raises during those times. And most of them were sitting home with popcorn and TV.

Unlike much of our history, federal workers today are paid extremely well, with unparalleled benefits, job security, and retirement. Far from being some kind of hardworking martyrs, they are among society’s most privileged— from the WS to the SES.

Federal employees are WAY overpaid already.

An Air Traffic Controller working at LAX tower in Los Angeles, who is at the journeyman grade (GS-14) and in the middle of the longevity step increase ladder (step 5) currently earns:

$145,326/year.

Bush started a lot of this with some nonsense called “pay comparability” with the private sector which turned into “pay superiority”. Totally didn’t take into account the risk private sector employees face of being fired, which is near nonexistent in the federal government.

Such gaslighting.

The Democrats succeeded in getting Biden into the White House.

Biden succeeded in causing rampant inflation.

Sorry, government workers, but you were among the Democrats who put Biden there.

You made your bed.

Elon Musk has shown us the way - at least 70% of these people are totally unnecessary.
