The union leaders said it is outrageous to keep asking federal employees to sacrifice when they are already operating under a two-year pay scale freeze that is expected to save $60 billion over a decade.

"What grates me here is, we have workers being asked to pay for something they didn't cause," Gage said. "We are calling on leaders in Congress as well as the White House to change this course and find another way to pay for unemployment insurance, rather than take it from middle-class working families."

SHAME! SHAME! SHAME! SHAME! SHAME! SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!

Republican Governors will have to learn, that they can't balance the state's budget, on the backs of the working man.
The new Democrat Governor will take care of the problem.

There is always people out there who want a free ride on the backs of their fellow workers.

Bwhahaha. Chocolate Walker!

This is despicable.

We're killing the middle class---and this is only making it more difficult for the hard-working and productive government employees and their families to keep their heads above water.

I am so outraged.

Obama needs to be recalled---along with his Koch-sucking corporate fat cat contributors who benefit from this action.

I wouldn't expect a goatroper like Jackie Meeeow to pick up on it, but the pension provision is a watered-down version of the Republicans' wet dream proposal.

I think that is his point Doc_Obtuse.

LOL.

Oh irony!---you insidious bitch.

Good job, Starvis. You're on the ball, man.

You goofy scotch-addled fuck.

Oh, sorry; didn't realize I was stumbling into a GOPiggie circle jerk and marshmellow roast.

Proceed, kiddies.

Oh.

So if the opposite party had proposed something more extreme than what Walker did, would that have made his bill excusable?

Will the Democrats in Congress flee to another country and hide to stall a vote on Obama's budget?

Priceless!

Why do federal workers have to pay for their retirement while state and city workers get theirs free?

I would guess that there are far more employees in FERS than CSRS. CSRS is a salary based retirement system whereas FERS is salary, TSP, and SS based.

If more government agencies, local, state, went to the FERS model I think it would help out alot.

Translation: This is harder to defend than my Hipper of Seagrams after being pulled over.

"Obama needs to be recalled---along with his Koch-sucking corporate fat cat contributors who benefit from this action."

Does recall exist for presidents? Or is it called impeachment? I ask because I don't know. (Given, Jak appears to be faking a leftie voice here...)

Why does no one complain about Obama preventing the workers their right to strike (bargain collectively) in the Auto Bailout Bill?

18 posts. Looks like the die hard DR Obama supporters are awaiting their marching orders. Bush's fault ain't going to work on this. Maybe they'll role out that McCain would have done it too.

Starvis was literally the only one who showed up, and he scurried off pretty quick.

Where's Zed at?

Where's BonerBoy at?

Where's Danni at?

The funniest part is that even Corky, the most pathetic Obama ball-buffer of all, has absolutely no spin to offer here.

Fuck you Joe.... or, er, if we can find anyone willing that is, which I doubt. Maybe Larry is around somewhere?

What's funny is the desperation in your posts to get someone to respond to your lame little thread.

Talk about pathetic.

Beg me some more.... c'mon, now... beg!

Good boy!

Yep, corky's got nothing. His handlers must be scrambling.

How long has Congressional pay, their staffing, travel budgets, been frozen? cut?
