I'm sorry you take offense at what I said. I was not attacking Government employees, but the federal system that is ripping off the taxpayers and future generations. I was a federal employee for 35 years because the job was too good to be true and the best way to make a living. I was an excellent and efficient worker, but I was grossly overpaid and underworked. I was a teleworker and sometimes spent months watching daytime television while making over $100K per year, because the office was overstaffed and they had no work for me and they would never reduce the staff. This situation is very typical in many federal Government offices. I think people should know how much of their tax money is being wasted by federal spending that is totally out of control.
