    Please. There are numerous times where my staff and I (all government workers) have responded incredibly fast to taskers from my bosses, government workers, who have to respond, usually within 48 hours, to taskers from their bosses also government workers. We create information to help the public, as well as other agencies, to make their lives better. Compare that to the responsiveness of the “fast-paced world of Wall Street,” or the other subjects this strip supposedly addresses. Which reminds me, I couldn’t remember which strip I meant to drop from my rotation. Sayonara, y’all.

    Part of neg feelings toward gov workers stems from collusion taking place between Democratic party andPublic unions regarding retirement—the back room deals. Lousy investments mean John Q taxpayer must guarantee shortfall in revenue and obligation for taxpayer to guarantee funding state worker retirement checks. Thus state workers are NOT at risk, the taxpayer is.This is a significant issue…taints image of low risk public workers.

    With due respect here is the fallacy: If one takes a look how salaries for the same workers change as they shift between jobs in the public and private sectors in terms of abilities and worker traits (intelligence, motivation and creativity training) the worker ability stays the same…and a higher salary in most cases does not occur.

    In other words an employer gets what they pay for…thus perhaps the lower returns on public sector investments may be a result of government types at the helm who may not have the “cojones” to generate higher returns no matter how they try—- ouch!!
