[quote=sdrealtor]sorry but no one concocted an artificial division between “private” and “public” sector workers for me. I have worked in the public sector and seen it personally. I have seen the pension benefits and compensation the public sector worker receive. I have seen school funding get cut and community services get cut personally. We arent idiots around here nor are we sheeple. We see it ourselves. We dont listen to the media about that just like we didnt buy into the housing bubble. Its a real problem but as a direct beneficiary of it you cant see past it. Nothing more….nothing less.[/quote]
Bullshit. I’ve advocated for workers’ rights long before I went to work in the public sector. On multiple occasions, I’ve advocated for things that worked very much against my best interests if I felt it was the right thing to do. You have no idea what motivates me, and it’s clear from your multiple posts that you don’t understand what public sector workers do (hanging out after work and drinking alcohol on the patio?!?!?).
Based on your posts, you worked for a short time in administration where it is indeed bloated — and most “boots-on-the-ground” workers will tell you that. You’ve never done the hard work that the front-line workers do. Yes, I’ve seen the nonsense in administration with its multiple layers of overpaid bureaucrats, but for some reason, those aren’t the people who are being vilified in most MSM articles and on the blogs.
Programs get cut when revenue drops or costs increase unexpectedly, they don’t get cut because of the workers.
Yes, the idiots who are whining about not having these benefits are, more often than not, the ones who championed the off-shoring of jobs, the elimination of unions, and “globalization.” They foolishly believed that they were somehow members of “the rich” who were going to benefit from the decimation of the middle and working classes. Yes, they are idiots and they are sheeple. Yes, their opinions are affected by the MSM and the “national groupthink” that is controlled by a handful of people/entities who are responsible for the destruction of our economy.
BTW, how many billions/trillions of dollars have been spent to artificially inflate housing prices and keep the housing market liquid — something that YOU benefit from personally? You are in no position to complain about wasted taxpayer money.
