"Wow, that's a huge axe you're grinding..."
LOL....I absolutely despise whiny gov't workers who do not appreciate the undeserved paycheck they get or the folks who make it all possible.
So yeah, it's a huge axe, because it is a huge burden you federal employees put on folks who actually work for a living.
I'm not a federal employee. They wouldn't hire the likes of me...
However, I have seen federal employees who were brilliant and could have made fortunes in the private sector, but chose public service. I've also met federal employees who had private, inherited fortunes and worked their butts off in the public sector.
I have no illusions that there is waste in the public sector, but your comments are very, very broad and do a disservice to those public employees who really do bust their humps for not a great deal of money.
