Default two sides to this issue...

as a federal civil servant since 1972 I feel there are issues to discuss from the side of the public, whose tax dollars pay our salaries, to the Congress who fund..or I should say..many times fail to fund...the programs that the public needs, or was promised...to the civil servants themselves who, more often than not, deliver good service. Will post more as I have time. The VA is a case of advertising for and getting patients and then having the Congress not giving the VA the funding needed to take care of them..The American Legion had several articles about all of this in last month's magazine and online...But it happens thru out the federal government.......the public clamors for programs and service...Congress taxes and spends to provide...government employees must contend with inadequate funding, a hostile public when service is not provided, and politicians who just provide more BS...
