[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When are we going to stop throwing money at glorified secretaries (government employees). Anybody can enter a few lines into a spreadsheet, write a memo, and send an e-mail. Feds have no special skills and should not be compensated as if they do[/quote]

Sounds like you are bitter from being rejected by the feds. [/quote]

I find it shocking how many companies are funded through federal dollars and none of these people understand how the money shows up in those accounts, how their social security checks are sent, how the national parks remain clean, how their mail is delivered, how their bank deposits are insured, how their roads remain drivable, how their passports are issued……

Those bitter imbeciles were rejected for a reason. [/quote]

Agree.  Anti-Feds want to live in a country with dirty air, dirty water, elderly poor people sitting on the side of the road (or moving in with them), no public transportation, terrible roads, an uneducated populace, Russia or some other foreign adversary launching missile strikes, terrorist incidents on a daily basis, no airport screening, planes flying wherever and whenever they want, the power grid going down on a regular basis, dams overflowing and flooding entire communities, etc. [/quote]

I also don’t think they realize a lot of us Feds take these jobs in large part because we do care about these functions. I’m an attorney and I have always known I wanted to work in the public sector because I am more motivated to do something that I know helps people in my country than defend some large insurance corporation in litigation or help international companies acquire another. I grew up working class compared to a lot of DCUM and was the first in my family to go to law school (on a merit scholarship). My priorities have never included working as a private sector lawyer. I’m a high performer at my agency and I just roll my eyes at the anti fed rhetoric. I know what I do affects the lives of many people.[/quote]

Well said.  Thank you.[/quote]
