[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]
You do realize that the US has lower levels of public services than any other industrialized nation?  The reason our debt is so high is (a) ridiculous levels of military spending and (b) never ending tax cuts from Republicans that explode the deficit.[/quote]

Do you realize 17 cents of every dollar of GDP is spent on health care?

[b]Not 17 cents of every tax dollar.[/b]  17 cents of every dollar.

Enough, FFS. [/quote]

Then look at the issue. It isn't the doctors getting rich. It is the middle men and insurance companies who are scamming everyone else. But the GOP plays into their hands and refuses to reform the healthcare and insurance industries. Heck, one of the biggest scammers, Rick Scott, is a GOP senator. You are barking up the wrong tree.[/quote]

Well you wanted Obamacare.  You wanted Medicare and Medicaid.  Here we have it now.  We're living YOUR dream.

And you're complaining about middle men?  You mean the intended and unintended consequences of stupid sh** like "risk corridors"?

Health care is starving everything in spending.[/quote]

To be fair, I prefer universal coverage, like the rest of the civilized world has. Obamacare is really the GOP solution to the untenable health system we had prior to. You know, when people couldn't get coverage or they could lose coverage because they had the temerity to be born with a lifelong malady or somehow "caught" cancer somewhere along the way. You should be thankful you never had to deal with that.[/quote]
