Sick leave

Here is the comment Senator Coburn made when threatening to filibuster during the congressional session. Why is he allowed to threaten Civil Servants and does he not have a federal pension, or is he not subject to losing his as well?

"By the way, if you are a federal employee and unhappy with me trying to defeat this amendment, you should pay attention to something. There is no guarantee to your federal pension based on the economics we face today in this country. If you think it is guaranteed, you have another thought coming because the world economic system is going to determine whether we can honor that pension. That is what is coming. We are very close," Coburn said.

Coburn is right in that nothing is guaranteed.

He is off base saying that honoring pensions depends upon the world economic system. The real cause is all around him. He should open is eyes, look in the mirror, look around the Senate chamber he stands in, and walk across the way to the House chamber and have a GOOD HARD LOOK.

Look hard Senator. The beast is all around you.

The determinant will be whether or not CONGRESS keeps flushing trillions of $$ down the toilet with no sense of care or responsibility.

Folks try to get yourselves in a financial position where you can walk out the door regardless of what happens.

Yea Norm. Shut it all down - VA, DoD, DOE, DOT, FAA, Health & HS, FEMA DHS, and all the others.

...What?

They are essential you say?

Sorry. No $ therefore no gov't services. Bye.

Reality?

The kind of ranting in this video is useless because a basic point is missed. The American people have not only lost there country to a corrupt congress but at the same time (No one said congress was stupid) have had there hands hogtied to there feet by laws that will require the swiftist enforcement should anyone try to step out of line and even think about trying to make a move ! You me averyone are only able to stand by and watch the FLEECING OF AMERICA!
