Liberal talking points have got so stupid it's hard to even try to talk to them anymore.
Their crap is so far out there everyone with an IQ over 25 knows better and doesn't want to waste their time with idiots...Anyone who even listens to liberalism for more than 2 minutes either wants free sh!t or a cushy overpaid govt job or power or a combination of the three...

It may surprise you that I agree with you on all counts, including the point about cushy overpaid government jobs. In the past 10 years I have worked as an employee of companies with federal contracts, I have witnessed first hand how out of hand things have gotten with federal employee pay and benefits. I work in the Department of Defense because it allows me to directly support our military. If I could turn back time, I would have probably joined the military.

Unfortunately, the amount of incompetence and waste that I have seen, even among the higher levels of the military grow worse every year. I am not referring to the people in charge of the small department in which I work, but to the policies that are handed down from above.

There are two sets of rules for government workers - one for employees and another for federal contractors. Incompetence among contractors leads to the loss of contracts on a corporate level and a quick termination of employment on the individual level.

Incompetence among federal employees is more likely to result in their promotion as their dismissal. Extreme incompetence gets them transferred to another department or agency. Only the worst of the worst federal employees need fear the loss of their jobs.

That is why I am in favor of outlawing public sector unions at all levels. All they do is bilk taxpayers and deliver votes to liberal Democrat Party politicians, who in turn reward them with pay hikes, great pensions, and iron clad job security. It is a vicious cycle that has drained trillions of dollars from local, state, and local taxpayers.

I can't speak for how federal contractors are treated in other parts of the federal government, but in my office, we are held to a much higher performance standard than federal employees performing the same jobs would be - and I am not complaining, every employee should be held accountable for his or her job performance. The federal government is beyond broke and taxpayers deserve more for their money than what they are getting.
