Yes, in the long term a government employee can make more money. Considering that the majority of these people are privy to information that can be sensitive to national security I am all for keeping them happy. The number one motivator for espionage is money. By taking care of their own the government in a small way is detering the vast majority from even thinking about it.

BTW you cannot retire from the Gov't until you have put in 20 years of Federal Service and are age 55 or older. That is only 7 years earlier than the average in the US. Not everyone in the government retires right at age 55 though. Oh and do not confuse a military retirement after 20 years as the same thing because they are not.

Yes, some government retirees may opt to pick up an additional job for 5-10 years after retirement that is their choice. Don't hate the player, hate the game. You should have thought about it in your grand scheme.

I will not see eye to eye with you guys on this topic. Ever

From what I see Most people who retired from the federal goverment at age 55 go back to work. I don't have a problem with them doing that because thats how the system is set up. I have a problem with the system. As far as lazy that might not be the correct wording but everyone I know that works for the federal goverment will admitt they don't bust their ass at work.

Who have I bashed I just stated what people I know who work for the federal goverment have said. I own my own business and write my own pay check so the only person affected by how much or how hard I work is myself.

My plan would be to slash the federal goverment from top to bottom and cut spending across the board.
