When the new MAGA Congress is seated I'm going to push for no mo' taxpayer-funded pensions for federal government workers. Then I'll start on the state.
I'm totally down with eliminating all special perks. Let them see what it's like to live in the private sector. The only exception to good healthcare I would make is for workers--lawyers, editors, word processors, clerks--on state Legislative Councils. The work is stultifying (writing, reading, interpreting, editing bills; the resolutions are more interesting--one can learn about one's sis and fellow state residents by reading them) and come session time, the hours are a bitch. One of the full-timers who'd retired came back for a session that I happened to work at and had a heart attack before it was over (2015; not jab related). They might be about the hardest of ALL govt. workers. So, I'm on the fence about them after doing two sessions for two different Legis Councils. At least in Texas session is every other year. In NM it's every year but not for as long. And btw, I did REAL public service. As a hiree for non-staff session work, I was sorely underpaid. In NM, it takes three months just to get trained, then depending on the year, 1 or 2 straight months of 7 days/week, 9-hour days, 15 minutes for lunch. If a special session is called, then the staff workers have to go into the same 7 days/week, 9-hours/day mode. And you have to work on bills for elected dunces that you loathe. I digress. A lot. Sorry.
Absolutely! We would have to read and follow in teams of two bills that were 100+ pages. Mini-tomes is how the corrupt politicians, both sides, get their perks 'n' porks stuffed into bills that should be ONE ISSUE alone. New Congress coming . . .
You guessed it. White lefty secular WEFers working for government agencies that put the rest of us through the shit we wish we could sue them for.
