From the Washington Post:

“The nation’s largest federal workers union is taking to the airwaves to defend rank-and-file federal workers against growing anti-government sentiments. The American Federation of Government Employees plans to spend about $200,000 to air a 60-second radio ad in more than 30 markets, including Washington and several Southern cities, a spokeswoman said. The ad features AFGE President John Gage and workers from the Bureau of Prisons, the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Social Security Administration, who tell listeners to ‘trust’ them as they carry out their work. … And a VA registered nurse says: ‘I care for veterans like family.’

‘You can trust us. We work for you,’ Gage says at the end. ‘We want people to know what those irresponsible ploys really mean,’ Gage said in a statement announcing the ad buy. ‘They mean reductions in Social Security for our seniors. They mean reduced services for our veterans. And, they mean fewer guards at our federal prisons. The men and women of the federal service are not nameless, faceless bureaucrats. They’re what hold our nation together.’”

If you’re buying the crap in that ad I have swamp land in Southern Arizona you may be interested in.

With the unions for federal employees, car companies and the teachers all to prop up the corrupt unions a caller to the Rush Limbaugh show provides this alarming little tid-bit concerning the fact that federal employees don’t produce products.

CALLER: The only comment I had on this particular instance was that the one guaranteed result that I see out of federal employees that the manufactured product is more and more federal employees based upon their interpretation of their guidelines and statutes — oh, wait a minute. Now they’re interpreting statutes. Oops.

RUSH: So you think that the biggest manufactured product of federal employees is more federal employees?

CALLER: Well, basically I agree with you in one aspect, that I don’t see any other actual product.

RUSH: Well, yeah. The Chevy Volt. I goofed up on this, too, yesterday.

CALLER: Well, I agree with you on that, too, but the main thing that I see and let’s see, I’m 50 years old, retired, union labor worker, blah, blah, blah, blah.

RUSH: Wow. How’s the pension working out?

CALLER: All I ever saw out of government was, “Oh, oh, no, no, you can’t do that, you qualify — oh, you own a real car? Oh, no, you can’t get that.”

The point of bringing up this call is the high-lighted portion where the caller admits he is 50-years old and a retired union labor worker. Yes, he is collecting his pension. Nice retirement if you can get it.

The system is broken, the unions continue to receive billions in bailouts, the union employees are paid considerably more than private sector employees and the retirement funds for union employees are guaranteed on the backs of the American taxpayer.

We’ve become bailout nation for the unions and pals of the Marxist regime in Washington. Indeed!
