Public service is not public service anymore. It’s about getting a job. That applies to all government employees including the military.
When I hear people thumping about safety, protecting freedom and such, I think: my foot – it’s about the paycheck.
BTW, Republicans like to blame Democrats for the budget predicaments we’re in. But Republicans are just as guilty if not more. With needless tought sentencing laws and militarism, Republicans have built up the law-enforcement and military industrial complexes that are bleeding us dry. In that respect, I support Ron Paul.[/quote]
It has **always** been about the paycheck — especially the benefits. If anyone told you any different, they were lying.
Nuns do what they do for the “service” aspect. Public employees tend to be the most qualified employees in their respective fields. Of course they expect to be compensated for it.
