[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]House Oversight Committee Rolls Back benefits for all federal employees. High 3 pension moves to high 5 pension. Makes ALL federal employees pay 4.4% towards their pension (feds hired before 2014 pay a lower amount). This will be an automatic reduction in pay for long-serving employees.

Why would anyone want to work for our government now?

Think about how fast (slow af) and intelligent (idiotic) your local DMV workers are. That's about to be the level of employees in all federal branches.  [/quote]

Um, they don't want people to want to work for the government...that's the plan. They are destroying the government. [/quote]

Sorry.  Cutting back a bloated behemoth of a government, that you believe should do womb to tomb everything under the sun for everyone, to a reasonable government, and not a friggen Soviet Politburo, is not destroying the government.[/quote]

Per capita, it’s smaller than it was in the 80s. I personally want to pay taxes for cancer research, weather science, natural disasters (and climate policies), and social programs that help us all thrive. I believe in soft diplomacy too, because it’s been proven to work. [/quote]

Per capita?  You mean by importing millions that pay nothing?  By pushing the tax code to be more and more progressive?

Per capita?  Show me.

"I personally......"

Well, I personally don't. What we have by government is having a gun to our heads to pay more for all the things YOU want.  F no.[/quote]

That is how our government works. We vote people in and they implement the programs we want by writing bills and then funding them. If you don't like the programs, the vote for people who are opposed to them. The problem you have is, these are laws and the programs are funded because it is what the people want. YOU don't like them, And the president cannot legally just not execute on the laws. so for this to happen legally, the congress, not the president, has to 1) retract the laws that created the agencies and programs and then 2) defund those no longer existing programs. Unless you want a king, that is the process. If you are that upset about what our government has done in a bi-partisan manner over the last 100 years and you want a dictator, then maybe the USA isn't for you.[/quote]
