[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Public workers have it good. A strong union, very little chance of job loss, great benefits. Private sector cant find jobs let alone a pay freeze yet Fedsworkers won't be asked to sacrifice like the rest of the economy. What hypocrisy. [/quote]

No, you know who isn't being asked to sacrifice like the rest of the economy? It's not the feds.  It's the investment banks that, after throwing the entire country under the bus, were rewarded with huge bailouts and astronomical end-of-year bonuses while millions of people were losing their jobs and homes, who got trillions (not billions, that's peanuts that actually makes news) in interest free loans from the government that they then turned around and lent back to it at 6% (but of course, restructuring homeowners' loans has always been out of the question because who wants to reward bad judgment?), who are now more powerful than they were before the financial crisis, and who are now just laughing at you stupid Main Streeter that they've succeeded in turning against the only people left who aren't out to screw you.

I was just looking at the gift giving section of the Wall Street Journal a couple of days ago: $20,000 shark-shaped cuff links, anyone?[/quote]
