Why does the rest of the country hate DC?

It is so sad that none of these anti-DC posters see that many of us working at the FDA, Fed, NIH, or other agencies feel that public service serves a vital function in our country, and are willing to accept lower pay to contribute to society.

This. Thank you.

I work in the public service, and I DO appreciate that I have a job that is stable and gives me enough time for my family. I am also proud to be working on behalf of the American people instead of a money-grabbing corporation. I make less money than people in the private sector, but I am not jealous or angry, and some of the people on this board should try it sometime!

Now this is what I call a Bwahahahah moment!

You don't believe that anyone has higher ideals beyond self-interest and money?

Don't call me babe, and you know nothing of my ideals or motivations. There are good people in the world who do things like volunteer or work for a cause larger then themselves, they are not all pretending to be Gandhi.

Guess what? There are plenty of terrible federal employees. For example, the FBI NY Field Office Agents who seem to have a bug up their asses about the Clintons and don't mind telling the papers about their nothingburger investigations less than a week before the election? Those "patriots" are make 20% more base pay than your average fed, which is also used to calculate the defined benefit pension that they get. Coupled to the fact that they also get half a percent per year greater for their years in service, they make out like the bandits they actually are. Then, when they retire at 57 (maximum), they get to waltz into a cushy six figure security consultant job while collecting their pension. For the many federal LEOs who make this and are actually doing their jobs, I tip my hat. To these right wing political charlatans disguising themselves as agents, I say OPR needs to crawl up their asses.

But you are very Trumpian. Make sure you turn down NIH-developed cure if you get sick.

Ha ha! The federal government is a money-grabbing corporation, haven't you seen the news lately? Difference is, it's funded by tax payer dollars and not private dollars. Stop whining about how much less money you make, we don't care, you can get another job that pays more. Please don't sacrifice for us, we didn't ask you to. I do want you to have to use Obamacare though and I am fighting the have all federal and congressional employees to be on the exchange with the rest of us soulless losers.

Please, not NP, but come off your "Jesus" horse, your head is going to explode Mother Federal Worker!

Oh, ding, ding, ding, we have a HRC advocate who thinks HRC is just a sweet old grandmother and is being railroaded! The FBI agents are trying to do their jobs among a corrupt Dept of Justice and Administration for the good of the people. HRC is guilty as sin for pay to play with our government at her disposal and anyone with an ounce of intelligence can see this, anyone.

+ 1 to having all the federal and congressional employees on Obamacare. I am so fed up with my fed friends and neighbors telling me how wonderful Obamacare is, as they enjoy wonderful taxpayer-funded plans and access to the best doctors, while I lost my great (and affordable) plan and am now paying a ridiculous amount of money for poor coverage and sub-standard care. They need to experience what we peons have been suffering with - which includes the financial sacrifices to provide free care to lower income - before I give any credence to their opinion.
