I always thought that government workers received such great benefits like health care, vacation time and pensions because the pay was lousy. Whoever sold that fable to the public deserves a promotion. The truth is they make much more than the taxpayers of this country that pay their salaries and they never have to be worried about being laid off. If this isn't a big enough kick in the teeth, President Obama plans on adding 600,000+ in the coming years to the federal government. With the national unemployment rate up to 9.7%, a 26 year high, it seems the only "company" hiring is the government. An economy that depends on an ever expanding government for growth is unsustainable. Vice President Biden remarked the other day that the stimulus is working better than expected. Do you believe him? Someday soon the debt being run up by this administration will come due. The only way to pay the bills will be to institute a value added tax.
