[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because if government workers started wearing anything even vaguely trendy or costing more than $100 an item, taxpayers would freak about federal salaries being too high and the tea party would have a field day.

Seriously. A while back, Vogue had a piece on style here. Some NYC maven was wondering why we didn't di fun, easy things like pair a bejeweled Marc Kors tshirts with a grey Ralph Lauren skirt and a Prada jacket. Honey, the taxpayer may think we're the devil, but doesn't want us to wear Prada.

I get that green hair is cheap. But it implies an interest in fashion, and that implies spending your salary on other things we don't want govt workers to be able to afford.

x3  Nicely put.  And this has been the case since many decades before the tea party was in existence.  [/quote]

This is spot on. Last year there was a thread on the govt shutdown and what would Feds do once they get paid again. I said I'd get a pedicure. Several people freaked out - "these Feds are spending money on pedicures?! How dare they respond with anything other than saying they'd pay the mortgage or utility bills."[/quote]
