Dammit made a typo on the thread title and cant change it, though it would probably be accurate when you take into consideration what most of these useless parasites consider to be work. Money for nothing: Feds in D.C. closed 25% of the time Between snow days, official holidays and the government shutdown, federal employees have worked a normal business day less than 75 percent of the time since Oct. 1, marking a startlingly chaotic beginning to the fiscal year. Offices have been closed in whole or in part for 27 of the 105 weekdays so far in the fiscal year, according to a Washington Times analysis of announcements from the federal Office of Personnel Management that found the government was closed for 21 days because of the shutdown, snow days or holidays. Delayed openings or unscheduled leave and telework policies were in effect for six more days.

Studies have shown that even when at work, the average government employee spends 33% of their time doing their job, 33% of their time looking at the job postings at a higher grade level, and 33% of their time just goofing off.
I am not going to fault federal employees for working only 25% of the time since Oct 1st when most of the time involved the government shutdown. Most of the government employees I know work hard and are dedicated. The media and some people love to dump on them since they are paid out of our tax dollars. The real lazy government 'workers' are the politicians and their political appointees - not the mainstream government employees.
Sorry to say GWB, but i strongly disagree with this, almost every where you go where you see government employees, they work less hours, they dont work as hard while they are working, they get paid more, and they simply done give a crap about their work, because the government doesnt go bankrupt or fire anybody when they screw up. I cant see how anyone who has ever had to deal with the government in any capacity could ever come to the conclusion that these people are hard working efficient workers, generally the government is where the lazy flock too for a guaranteed check, and very little reprecussions for their own ineptitude.
