    poor Federally employed salaried veterans.
    Had to cancel their 3rd week of vacation.
    Taking a vacation is the least they can do after serving their country for most of their life, gs.

    They fought so you can be cheated out of buying a piece of electronic device for 400 when when they went for 100.

    Federal Employees Earn 50% More Than The Private Workforce
    https://www.huffingtonpost.com/money...b_8855508.html

    and:
    In 2014, the average federal employee salary was $84,153, approximately 50% more than the average private sector worker earned. This discrepancy increases to 78% when benefits are included. The average federal worker costs the government (aka taxpayers) $119,934.

    is there a difference in average credentials? like college educated govt employee, other credentials versus low-ed, uncredentialed private employee?

    for 40+ years, the oligarchy has been screwing workers income down, real household incomes have been basically flat, so now the oligarchy target is to screw govt employees, so they are as stressed, as precarious financially as oligarchy-screwed private employees

    Do you have ANY ing idea of what's been going on?

    I hate to be Captain Obvious here but the fundamental difference between conservatives and liberals, economically speaking, seems to be the fight over who should have to work harder to earn money: the wealthy, or the rest.

    the controlling wealthy, the oligarchy, don't "work".

    Their income is mostly unearned from stocks, bonds, investments, financial casino, rents, interest income, while avoiding and evading taxes

    Bet you were pissed the military federal employees still get their raises and their pensions.
    You just failed to mention it.

    And same here your above, but I gained wealth from government infrastructure. I can get to work on roads and bridges, you just put your Superman suit on a fly everywhere. Good for you. Government never helped you in any way, you could become rich in Somalia.

    Just Hours After Ordering Pay Cut for Millions of Public Workers, Trump Proposes $100 Billion Gift to Richest 1%


    Trump wants to send another kiss to the rich—

    unilaterally, without any approval from Congress.

    He ignores the law,

    governs for the top one percent, and

    doesn't give a hoot about the rest of us."


    he is considering a regressive and possibly illegal plan to use his executive power to hand the rich another $100 billion in tax cuts by indexing capital gains to inflation.

    for Trump and the Republican Party, concerns for "fiscal sustainability" are quickly dropped when it comes time to deliver major gifts to the rich, Wall Street, and the Pentagon.

    Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) wrote that Trump is once again "making it clear he has no interest in supporting working people."
    "Trump himself has pocketed millions over the years grifting off of taxpayers, but now he wants to make it harder for workers to get ahead," Sanders added.

    "Trump and his Republican friends in Congress didn't have any problem finding $1.5 trillion in tax giveaways for the wealthiest people and

    hugely profitable corporations,

    but suddenly they don't have enough money to pay fair salaries to hardworking public servants."


    86 percent of the benefits of this change in tax policy would go to the top one percent.

    No.

    Im saying Darrin is obviously incredibly resourceful in countries that have no government.

    Are you trying to say Trump is attempting to turn the US into a hole country?

    We all know government employees work their asses off. That's why it only takes 6 months to get a form 4 through when it should take a few days.

    Next time you go to the Post Office, please pay attention to how much tape they use to tape on an address label - boggled my mind - like 3 times what was needed - all I thought was if she does that for every customer, all day long, for 30 years ....
