[quote=Anonymous]In response to federal bashing: Federal employees do NOT get Christmas Eve or the day after Thanksgiving as holidays, like many people.  All of the other jobs I had these were paid holidays.  The feds get 10 paid holidays per year.  When I worked in the private sector I got 14 (including the entire week between Christmas and New Year's Day).  And federal employees with bachelor and master degrees are not paid comparable to private sector, they are paid LESS.  However, those employees with a high school education make more than the private sector, in general.

You should all check your facts before you start stereotyping federal employees and bad mouthing entire groups of people. And federal employees don't get automatic bonuses - or a cost of living raise for the last two years (which costs an average employee $97,000 after 20 years which can never be replaced/earned). I find it's not necessary to bad mouth ignorance, you make themselves look bad enough.  Get an education.  And better yet, get it without federal student loans or federal university grants. Or drive on highways with no federal funding.  Or bridges. Or figure out your own disaster relief. Or fight your own war. Or secure your own borders and coasts. Or get your own disability and retirement income and insurance (instead of Social Security).  Deliver and pick up your own mail. Get your own unemployment insurance and income. Run your own schools and educate your own kids (now there's a scary thought!). Make the soldiers who risked their lives and sanity to fight for this country get their own medical services if they survive.  Allow unlimited pollution of air, land and water. Allow poisioning of food.  Cruelty to farm animals. Be your own judge and jury (Supreme Courts), your own police force (without federal funds), your own National Guard Services. Fend for yourselves and protect your own copyrights, logos and trade assets. Fight your own drug war, provide your own treatment for kids that are addicted to those drugs. Protect yourselves from drug lords. Manage your own health insurance.  Regulate your own prescriptions, go ahead and take that medication when there's no inspection or control.  Stop your own viral or bacterial outbreak. Risk your life with that doctor that doesn't have to have a license. These services aren't free folks. And they aren't provided by robots.  AND BEST OF ALL: Try cashing your paycheck with no common currency.  The Federal Reserve creates our monetary units.  Try living without that folks.[/quote]
