It just upsets me that people think everyone in government are there for "the money" and don't take great pride in their jobs. Some, even many don't; but I do! Sorry.

I AM A FEDERAL EMPLOYEE AND MY COUNTERPARTS IN PRIVATE SECTOR MAKE ABOUT $30,000 TO $50,000 MORE THAN I DO. ON AVERAGE GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE'S SEE A GAP OF ABOUT 20% FOR THE SAME JOB IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR. YOU TRY LIVING IN DC, NY, OR LA WITH 20% LESS PAY THAN YOUR COUNTERPARTS. JACKASS'S!

Could you guide us to a place that has the answer? I agree that the military should get pay raises, but in times of high unemployment, NO pay raises to federal civilian employees. Senios are not getting a COLA increase in their SS, altho the Medicare premiums are being increased. Also agree w/ above poster that wants more control over Congessional perks...require them to take SS like the rest of us.

That we the people decide how much Congress gets paid and when and if they get raises. 2. Term limits 3. What type of benefits they get. What insurance plans they can be on. 4. That they be required to provide their own transportation or they must take public transportion. We're done paying for their expensive, needless limo rides, private jets, etc. 5. Any increase in taxes must be approved by tax payers. It's our money. We should have a say in what happens. How do we get this put on the ballot? They will never give up their elitist status and position. So, we need to take it from them. It's time we send them a quick reminder they work for us. I propose the following be put on ballot:

This is payback for electing Big Ears. IMO: the concept of Gov't employees who's job description very often includes the word "serve" having a union is a conflict of interests.
