Instead of service it has become nothing more than a “public works program” for minorities, immigrants, homosexuals and other assorted morons who reliably vote Democrat and are too stupid, lazy or worthless to obtain gainful employment in the public sector.

I work for the Department of Defense and can tell you that I am none of these things. I had a job in the private sector and decided to come into DoD shortly after 9/11, doing basically the same thing I used to do in the private sector (accounting). My pay was about the same (within $700 per year), the medical plan I had was about the same (and cost me about the same). The retirement plan is OK (combination of some defined benefit and some 401K) and the time off is embarrassing (26 days per year after 15 years employment).

And, this plan should have no effect on the DMV, because they aren't run by the Federal Government.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Take it easy there, Hoss.

At first blush, you appear to have a chip on your shoulder and are looking for an argument. No where in my post did I mention DoD, law enforcement, or any particular agency. Furthermore, anybody with half a brain and without a chip on their shoulder would know whom I was referring to. Appears you are too dumb to waste anymore time or energy on to convince otherwise, so I won’t. Now go away.
