In reply to Robert Vaughn. My wife and I are in the same boat. 30 years of Social Security taxes. I worked five years In a public hospital and will get a small pension.

Please click or go to this link and help stop Politicians from “Double dipping” – https://www.change.org/p/govern-cuomo-andrew-cuomo-end-tax-funded-elected-officials-from-collecting-a-full-tax-funded-pension-benfits-while-collecting-full-tax-funded-salary-s?recruiter=388695696&utm_source=share_for_starters&utm_medium=copyLink

While they point fingers at workers – thousands of elected and appointed officials are double dipping. They retire between terms and then go back and collect full pay and pensions.

In reply to Proud Gov’t Worker.

I know plenty about Capps. I went to school there.

Ann Margret has Scandinavian eyes. Case closed.

Now back to your cubicle, trough feeder. You need to earn your keep, pushing papers from one side of your desk to the other.

BTW….I actually DO have a question for a Proud Government Worker: Now that pencil sharpeners are passe, how do you fill that void? Once upon a time the ritual of standing up, shuffling over to the community sharpener and sitting back down at your desk comprised fully 1/3 of government worker time. How have you back-filled it? Candy Crush?

In reply to JimmyDeeOC. You obviously know little about Walter Capps. He was a brilliant, kind man who could never be pigeonholed as an "anti-war activist". And since when was being anti Vietnam Wsr a bad thing? And Lois has Scandinavian light eyes, not vacant ones. This uninformed comment probably doesn't deserve a response.

In reply to Robert Vaughn. My wife & I are inthe same boat . Both of us work 30 yrs on SocSec. A short term in public jobs and now our full Soc Sec is threatened. Once again, the laws that they make don't apply to them.

And as to Capps…….They say the eyes are the window to the soul. And that vacant look in Capps’ eyes is a portal to a vacant brain.

Her anti-war activist and Religions Studies professor husband was elected in the mid-90s but croaked soon into his term. She assumed the seat and has been there now for nearly 20 years. She says few stupid things (actually says very little at all – her “landmark legislation” has been the sponsorship of a bill to swap a small parcel of Forest Service land with a Yoga retreat that could have been handled by the Hooterville City Council)

She parrots every bit of environmental silliness from Tom Steyer, et.al, which is good enough for Gaia-worshipping Santa Barbarans to send her back to DC every two years.

“We’re trying to attract the best and the brightest to be public servants…….”
——————————-

Well…….there went breakfast. “Public Servants” my a**.

That’s insane….As a society we want the B&B to do something that will GROW the economy, innovate, invent.

Thankfully the public sector will be the first to be fully robotized (it’s infinitely easier to program a robot to do drone work.) Several decades from now we won’t have this problem…..but getting from here to there will be a hassle.
