I have a novel idea concerning bashing of the federal worker by members of Congress who use them as whipping boys and girls constantly now, many times to take the heat off themselves.  Why don’t we make it illegal for both sides of the aisle to threaten to or implement any punishment against the federal workforce as long as members of Congress are caught doing any kind of wrong doing from cheating on their wives to misappropriation of funds, taking bribes, avoiding the payment of income taxes, hidden offshore accounts and hundreds more?  There isn’t one single thing you can think of that one of our congressmen or senators hasn’t been guilty of is there … no!

How can they threaten the rank and file government worker when they themselves are breaking laws left and right.

It cannot be “do as I say, but not as I do”.  As long as those making the laws are corrupt to one degree or another, they should be in no position to judge or hold sway over those who are just pawns in the government game.

Congress also makes promises to the government worker and then, when it is expedient, they change the rules to fit whatever situation is at hand.  It is time to make members of Congress just as accountable for their actions as Congress makes the federal worker accountable for theirs.

Put this one on the books and watch things change. — Victor Clunet

Nearly Useless Factoid:

King Charles I of England rewarded his whipping boy, William Murray, by making him the Earl of Dysart in 1643.
