    We shouldn't be trying to balance the budget on the backs of federal workers. Targeting public servants might seem like convenient politics, but it's just not right.https://www.rollcall.com/news/politics/senate-democrats-oppose-federal-retirement-cutbacks …

        Another bureaucrat. There should be a extra income tax on all government paychecks as they are underworked, overpaid & overbenefited compared to private industry.

        You do realize govt employees already make much less than their private counterparts causing many smart, hardworking, qualified people to leave govt work entirely thereby weakening the overall effectiveness of govt and burdening the good people who stay?

        Ha, no matter what, the effectiveness of any govt is worthless. Why should we work until May every year, to pay our taxes when they do nothing for us?

        My wife, a federal LEO and veteran, wonders why the @GOP is not banding together with the Senate Dems to support federal workers and the service they do for our country. They serve our great country. They are not a drain on it. She finds the lack of support horrible.

        Meanwhile, people at the Executive and Legislative level get cushy, untouched retirement plans even though many are already wealthy. Rewarding service and commitment in our government is very lopsided.

        How about a senator or congressman taking a wage reduction/retirement cut? Every year policitians gave themselves pay raises. Now numerous govt employees are no longer employed so payroll has been cut in every dept. Time to look at wages and benefits in the House and Senate.

        The federal workforce is way too big, Warner. We need to slash the numbers of federal workers drastically. Let's start with those in DC.

        Should balancing the budget include reducing income while spending billions on a wall?

        Of course you say that about Federal workers, they generally vote Democrat. You and fellow Dems support making Federal workers retirement benefits better than counterparts, you should be supporting the level field in line with Civilians!
