Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire The Gov't Worker Gravy Train

'Clean' living(and a clean conscious) combined with all that fresh air does wonders for self motivation.

These conversations always get stupid. Every job has costs and benefits.

I get a buttload of vacation and sick time. Some folks don't. But some folks haven't had to hire an attorney because they were frivolously sued for six million dollars for doing their job, spending four years in depositions and testimony in federal court.

To assume that the totality of any job comes down to pay, schedule or vacation time is silly.

I loved my goopermeny job...with NO time clock....just rite the time worked in,every week .........that rocked ...oh did I forget my time as contractor?...............what a joke.

How many Goverment checks do ranchers get these days? What about crop insurance every year? Crp check?

You benefit more from the Goverment than any 40 hour employee.

Don't know of any payments that ranchers receive from the government, you will have to fill me in on that. Feel free to explain.

Federal crop insurance payment(that we pay) isn't nearly that much.

We don't farm very much though so I'm not up all the specifics.

Glad self employed folks have no liability/insurance expense.

No possible justification exists for and it is extremely damaging to America's culture for government employees doing 1/5 as much work to be given nearly twice what those in the private sector earn.

'Overpaid Federal Workers'

'the average federal civilian worker now earns 74 percent more in wages and benefits than the average worker in the U.S. private sector.

'Another Perk of Working For Uncle Sam: Less Work'

'the federal government employees who were previously doing the work would appear to be less than one-fifth as productive as their private sector peers in working to produce the same output.'

My main gripe with .gov is that they get paid not to work.

Seriously, how much PTO do you really deserve?


Catfish Day, Sunflower Day, Moon Day, Valentines Day falls on a weekend so we better get the following Monday off just because it didn't land on a weekday this year....

Hell, they called a snow day back in DC and it didn't even snow!


If you are really needed in your line of work you show up and work!



Country is going broke and we are paying people to not work?


And to be clear I'm not bitching about the county deputy type of employee.


I would love to know how many days off our worthless Prez takes a year. He should set an example and show some work ethic and try to turn things around for our country.

Pathetic that he doesn't even have a clue...............................
