[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since most federal jobs are already in California, Virginia, Maryland, and Texas, I'm not sure cutting just DC federal jobs are going to do it. We can cut some red (Virginia, Texas) state federal jobs too!

It would be great to get a lot of the red states off the federal dole so they can be self supporting. [/quote]

Yes, you can cut some red state jobs too!  We're not against that.

Do you think you're being clever by pitting one group against another?  You aren't.

[b]These budget deficits and ridiculous federal pensions are killing the U.S[/b].[/quote]
Now the true colors are showing. You are jelly. Why are you jealous of their pensions? The employees help to self-fund those pensions. And the feds are not the only workers that receive pensions. There are plenty of private sector jobs whose benefits rival and top the benefits offered by the feds, and some of the benefits are transportable. [/quote]

Yes, I am jelly. That's it.

No actually, having someone work for 30 years and then collect retirement and benefits for 30 another years doesn't work.  The math doesn't work.

I would love stable compounding interest to take care of it, but it doesn't.

And also, look at Social Security. When it first started, we had around 148 workers for every retiree. Now it's down to about 2.9 workers for every retiree. There's no interest accrued in it either. It's basically tap the workers through FICA and send a check to the retiree with that amount plus what's coming out of Social Security savings.

The pyramid is collapsing. It makes no interest and it's financially in trouble. The trustees say that every year.  And the only answer the democrats have is to take an increasing percentage of the workers pay check to keep the music going. It's not fair to young workers who are trying to support themselves (maybe buy their first house or start a family) to ask them to keep kicking in more to a ponzi scheme (FIFO queue) that they're not going to see or they're going to see a much smaller payout with devalued dollars in 20 or 30 years.

Realistically, there's a lot of selfishness being promoted though these social schemes and people are not willingly participating. They're having it confiscated from their pay by force of government. I'm tired of our masterminds and their schemes. The founders never envisioned this nonsense.[/quote]
I hope you’re at least being paid to write this drivel. [/quote]
