Maybe all the government parasites -- over-paid, over-pampered, over-pensioned -- can go out into the real world and get a real job?

What? No Martin Luther King day off?? Oh, the humanity!!!

Ill informed, aren't you? I'm not a parasite, and have to say you haven't a clue as to what many dedicated federal employees do. If you want to discuss the 10,000 busy-work employees hired by Clinton (who've generally wrecked our healthcare plans), then you may have a point.

I'll even give you a good example of an outstanding, highly educated civil service employee. When Armco Steel moved about 200 miles away, an PhD engineer who didn't move because of a wife afflicted with MS, came to work for our office, as a GS-12 engineer. No one could have been more dedicated, saved the Govt millions of dollars, and with each task, did over and above what was expected of him and anyone else in his field, and took a large pay cut by not moving. Shame on him for not considering his wife's serious illness, huh?????????

You need to learn more about what you say, before you say it.
